About  |  Publications

Background

Dr. Hyeonju Kim has been a mathematical statistician in the Division of Bioinformatics and Biostatistics (DBB) at FDA’s National Center for Toxicological Research (NCTR) since August 2022. She conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center followed by postdoctoral research at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, developing algorithms for Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL) analysis in the context of multivariate linear mixed models and for fine mapping in the univariate logistic mixed model in quantitative genetics. Dr. Kim holds a Ph.D. in statistics from the University of Arizona and a master’s degree in mathematics from the University of New Mexico.

Research Interests

Dr. Kim’s research interests and expertise are in stochastic processes, extreme value theory, and high-dimensional data analysis in a wide range of applications, such as survival and event history analysis and quantitative genetics. She is currently working on covariate shift or transfer learning in machine learning.
