BU, Fanchen 卜凡辰

😊 Hi, I am Fanchen (/fantʂʰən/)! You can also call me Vezen (/vezən/).

I am a PhD student in the Data Mining Lab at KAIST, under Prof. Shin, Kijung.

My research interests lie in graph mining, graph algorithms, and combinatorial optimization.

Besides research, I like music 🎼, math 📐, thinking 🤔, and exercise 🏋️‍♀️!
