Junkee Jeon
Associate Professor of Applied Mathematics
Welcome to my homepage. I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics at Kyung Hee University.
My research interests lie in stochastic optimization and its applications in mathematical finance, including optimal consumption and portfolio selection, retirement decision problems, contract theory, free boundary problems, and option pricing.
I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Mathematical Science at Seoul National University.
