He received the B.S. degree from Korea University (KU), Korea in 1990, the MS and Ph.D. degree in harmonic analysis of mathematics from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Korea in 1992 and 1996, respectively.
He is a full professor in the department of mathematics at Sogang University in Seoul, Korea and served as the Chair of Mathematics Department from 2013-15, the Dean of Administrations Affairs from 2015-17, and the Dean of Academic Affairs from 2017-18, and the Dean of Interdisciplinary Basic Education from 2017-18.
His recent research interests focus on the probabilistic machine intelligence related to the Koopman operator of dynamical systems including the continuity of convolution and compositions between function spaces.

I am teaching two courses this semester. One is a course in mathematical statistics, taught at the level of a third-year mathematics major. The other is a course on Fourier analysis, which can be considered fairly challenging. However, it is designed so that second-year mathematics students can grasp the material through intuitive understanding rather than rigorous theory.
My research area is classical harmonic analysis. I am primarily interested in the continuity properties of convolution operators, with a particular focus on the theory of distributions and statistical methodologies. More recently, I have been working on the problem of recovering distribution functions from random samples within dynamical systems. As an application of this work, I study independent component analysis without the assumption of non-Gaussianity. This line of research has potential applications in generative algorithms and probabilistic neural networks. Below, you will find my publications organized by type and year. For questions about any specific publication, please contact my office, and a member of the teaching staff will respond as soon as possible.
Spring 2026 office hours are Monday (9:00~10:30, 17:10~17:40), Wednesday (9:00~10:30, 17:10~17:40), Tuesday (13:00~15:00), and Thursdays (13:00~15:00). Please email or request specific times with the form on SAINT.
