 I am an Associate Professor of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering at School of Engineering, Mathematics and Science of Robert Morris University (RMU) in Pennsylvania. I am a Visiting Faculty at Argonne National Laboratory (Host: Dr. Feng Qiu) performing the Energy Network Partition project supported by the 2020 and 2021 Summer Visiting Faculty Programs (VFP) of the US Department of Energy (DOE). I have been a Visiting Scholar to Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University (Host: Dr. Sunil Chopra) since Fall 2015. I am the awardee of RMU 2018 President’s Distinguished Faculty Achievement Award in Scholarship. Before I joined RMU in Fall 2015, I had performed research projects on combinatorial optimization as a research staff member of Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University under supervisory of Sunil Chopra. I also performed the General Motors Renewable Energy Portfolio project with Industrial Engineering and Management Sciences Department of Northwestern University since 2011. At Northwestern University and Georgia Institute of Technology, I also conducted the KT (Korea Telecom Corp) Smart Grid Project and the KT-LG Illinois Smart Building Project as Manager of KT in 2010-2011. I was an Instructor at Georgia Institute of Technology in 2009-2010 since my PhD degree in Industrial and Systems Engineering (Major: Optimization, Advisor: Ellis L. Johnson; Grand Advisor: George B. Dantzig) from the institute. Before I came to the US, I got BS in Mathematics at Seoul National University and MS in Computational Mathematics at POSTECH in Korea.
