Min Woo Sun (선민우)

PhD Candidate at Stanford University

Currently: I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Biomedical Data Science at Stanford University, advised by Rob Tibshirani. I work at the intersection of AI/ML and biology, focusing primarily on the design and evaluation of statistical methods for high-dimensional problems and their applications to precision health. My interest spans multiple areas including statistics, computer vision, and game theory.

Previously: I graduated from UCLA with a B.S. in Statistics and B.A. in Economics. During this time, I worked with Dennis Wall and Stefano Moretti. I also worked full-time as a Data Scientist at Invitae and as a Research Intern at Guardant.
