I am an assistant professor at Jeju National University.

My research interests are biomedical engineering, fluid mechanics, and signal processing. More specifically, it is the research on signal processing and fabrication of devices for human health care systems, which observes biometric data related to heartbeat, swallowing, coughing, breathing, etc. using a wireless sensor system that can be attached to the human body. During my postdoctoral period, I focused the signal processing for the human health care, and I was the project leader for swallowings detection systems during the daily activity the Dysphasia.
