Yoon was born in Seoul, South Korea, but spent his formative years in Vancouver, Canada and Beijing, China. He received his B.S. in Chemistry from Wheaton College in 2020. While there, he worked on C-H amidation projects towards the synthesis of cyclic phosphonamides under the supervision of Dr. Allison R. Dick. In the fall of 2020, he joined the Krische Group and is developing new synthetic methodologies.
