Investigates the biophysical mechanisms of cell-cell interface formation, membrane protein assembly, and tissue patterning.
I was born in East Lansing, Michigan, but I mostly grew up in South Korea. I received a bachelor's degree in biological science and electrical engineering (double major) from KAIST. I completed my doctoral studies at DGIST, focusing on single-molecule biophysics using nanomaterials, under the guidance of Dr. Daeha Seo and Jong-Chan Lee. In the Spring of 2024, I joined UCSF as a postdoc to investigate the underlying principles of cell-cell interface formation with Dr. Zev Gartner and Young-Wook Jun as my co-advisors.
