Research Interest Description: I received my PhD in Mechanical Engineering from KAIST, where my research focused on developing microengineered in vitro platforms for biomedical applications. My academic training includes a minor in Biological Sciences, which has allowed me to work at the interface of engineering and biology. My doctoral work involved the design and fabrication of microfluidic and chip-based systems to create well-controlled cellular microenvironments, with the goal of improving the reproducibility and functionality of in vitro models. As a postdoctoral researcher in the Huang Lab, I aim to apply engineering-based approaches to study human biology using advanced in vitro models and to contribute to the development of robust and translational research tools.
