I am a postdoctoral associate in the Department of Bioengineering at Rice University. My postdoc mentor is Oleg Igoshin.
I received Ph.D. from Department of Mathematical Sciences at KAIST, where I conducted my research under the mentorship of Jae Kyoung Kim.
My research interests lie in analyzing biological systems using mathematical tools, with a focus on spatiotemporal dynamics, AI-driven data analysis, circadian rhythms, immunotherapy modeling, and single-cell RNA sequencing.
Although I am a mathematician by training, I have extensive experience collaborating with experimental biologists and doctors.
