معرفی
Jae-Kwang Kim is a Professor in the Department of Statistics at Iowa State University's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. He holds Fellow status in both the American Statistical Association (ASA) and Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS), was named LAS Dean's Professor (2020-2022), and currently serves as President of the Korean International Statistical Society (KISS) for 2023-2024.
His educational background includes:
- PhD in Statistics, Iowa State University (2000)
- MS in Statistics, Seoul National University (1993)
- BS in Computer Science and Statistics, Seoul National University (1991)
Professor Kim's research spans survey sampling, missing data analysis, semiparametric estimation, and causal inference. He has pioneered methods for handling nonignorable nonresponse, developed fractional hot deck imputation techniques, and advanced data integration approaches combining probability surveys with big data sources. His work bridges theoretical statistics with practical survey methodology challenges.
His recent publications (2022-2025) reveal a concentrated focus on semiparametric imputation using Gaussian mixture models, functional calibration under non-probability sampling, and bootstrap inference for complex survey designs. Key themes include handling multivariate missing data, addressing selection bias in voluntary samples, and developing robust estimation techniques under informative sampling frameworks.
His major recognitions include:
- Gertrude M Cox Award (2015)
- LAS Dean's Professor (2020-2022)
- Fellow of the American Statistical Association
- Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics
Professor Kim has held academic appointments at Hankook University of Foreign Studies (2002-2003), Yonsei University (2004-2008), and KAIST (2016-2018), alongside his primary position at Iowa State University (2008-present). His pre-academic career included roles as Mathematical Statistician at the US Census Bureau (1999-2000) and Senior Statistician at Westat (2000-2001).
