Research Assistants (RAs)
서지선 (Zixuan Sioh)
I am interested in how personality traits shape one's actions. With the global trend of aging, I find it fascinating to explore the relationship between personality traits and behaviors among older adults.
엄지윤 (Jiyun Eom)
I’m JIYUN EOM and an undergraduate research assistant of ABCD Lab at Sungkyunkwan University(SKKU). My research interests focus on how social cognition and behaviors change with aging, because I would like to contribute to successful social lives of older adults including people that I love. Also I relish watching various movies and dramas such as The Walking Dead and listening to classical music at a concert hall.
이성경 (Seongkyeong Lee)
From a young age, I developed an interest in social issues like elder isolation and marginalization through volunteering at senior welfare centers and visiting the homes of elderly. These experiences inspired me to explore senior welfare policies and realize the importance of advancing aging research to support effective policymaking. As a result, I am now focusing on studying the development and mental health of older adults.
