Biography
I received my B.S. and Ph.D. (Distinguished Dissertation Award) in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Seoul National University, where I worked with Prof. Jongho Lee.
In 2022 I moved to Johns Hopkins as a postdoctoral fellow with Prof. Peter van Zijl in the Department of Radiology. From 2024 to 2026 I was a Research Associate in the Departments of Neurology and Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins and at the F.M. Kirby Research Center, Kennedy Krieger Institute. In 2026 I joined the Department of Neurology as an Assistant Professor.
