Hayon is a PhD candidate at Yale University where she studies environmental epidemiology and health impact of climate change. Hayon is interested in the relationship between hot/cold temperature and health, especially focusing on finding the gap between groups with different environment settings. 
Hayon received her MS from Seoul National University (2018) where she wrote her thesis on the causal inference of air pollution and health. During this time, Hayon was a member of developing software called Rex (http://rexsoft.org/) combining two types of software (R and Microsoft Excel); specifically involved in the implementation of statistical methods. Outside of academia, Hayon has held the position of the student government president for one year at SNU Public Health.
