I'm an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physiology at Hallym University College of Medicine. My research focuses on understanding the neural circuit mechanisms underlying autism spectrum disorder and social behavior, using mouse models and techniques like in-vivo calcium imaging, optogenetics, and electrophysiology. 

I completed my postdoctoral training at the University of Pennsylvania, where I investigated how specific neural circuits contribute to neurodevelopmental disorders. Now at Hallym, I'm building a lab dedicated to uncovering the biological diversity within autism and developing precision approaches to better understand this complex condition.

Outside the lab, I stay active through tennis and running. I find that these activities help me think through research problems and maintain balance. I'm always happy to discuss science, share ideas, or hit the court!
