Kyungji joined VPP in July 2024. She received her BPE degree with a major in Sport Science and MS degree in Kinesiology from Pusan National University. She then continued her education at Georgetown University, where she earned a second MS degree in Integrative Neuroscience in 2024 under the mentorship of Dr. Ella Striem-Amit at the Sensory and Motor Plasticity Lab. Kyungji’s long-term research goal is to bridge global medical disparities by developing at-home neurological rehabilitation programs that are accessible worldwide. Outside of the lab, she enjoys playing the piano, watching baseball games, and practicing Taekwondo, a Korean martial art. 

Beth is a PhD student in the IPN. She earned her bachelors in cognitive neuroscience and product design from Carnegie Mellon in 2020. She then completed a postbac fellowship with Chris Baker in the Laboratory of Brain and Cognition at the NIH before joining Stanford in the Fall of 2022 where she worked with Kalanit Grill-Spector in the Vision and Perception Neuroscience Lab and completed her MA. Beth is interested in the relationship between structure, organization, and function that facilitates perceptual processing and scaffolds neuroplasticity in the brain. Outside of the lab, she enjoys thrifting, sewing, figure skating, and traveling with friends.
