My name is Donghyuk Shin (신동혁). I currently work at Amazon as a Machine Learning Scientist.

I graduated with a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Texas at Austin, where I was advised by Prof. Inderjit S. Dhillon and part of the Center for Big Data Analytics. Before then, I received my B.E. and M.S. degrees from Sogang University. My research interests primarily focus on the field of machine learning and data mining, particularly in recommender systems, social network analysis, forecasting and big data analytics. I am also interested in the field of business analytics and management information systems and have closely worked with Prof. Andrew B. Whinston.
