Hello! I'm Heon, a junior at Brown University studying Computer Science and Mathematics.
My main interests are in theoretical computer science. More specifically, I do machine learning and optimization. I also have a strong interest in related fields such as mathematical analysis, algebra, probability, and topology.
At Brown, I've served on the Outreach Committee and am introducing Brown to incoming first-years as a Meiklejohn. I have also been a head TA for Fairness in Automated Decision Making (CSCI1951z), and a TA for Graph Theory (MATH1230) and Design and Analysis of Algorithms (CSCI1570). Furthermore, I research theoretical algorithms with Professor Pedro Felzenszwalb, focusing on iterated linear optimization and semidefinite programming.
My passion for tackling complex problems drives my pursuit of computer science and mathematics. I love the challenge of diving into difficult math problems, whether I find them online or through friends. Recently, I'm fascinated by the interplay between geometry and algebra, a connection that's become even more exciting as I frequently find it important in my current research!
