• PHD Student

  • Mar 2016 - Feb 2022

  Throughout the degree, I learned (1) how to establish the devices that mimic the pathophysiological environments of tissues in a micro-centimeter scale and (2) the way to understand/interpret the cellular phenotypes in the perspectives of mechanical engineer. Especially, I went to Duke University (NC, USA) as a visiting scholar (2018). I had participated 10 projects, and 10 international conferences (including Biomedical Engineering Society) and 13 domestic conferences in Korea as a first author. I got 7 best paper/presentation awards (2016-2021), a best dissertation award (2016), a young investigator award from WISET/SKEM (2016), and a PhD-academic award from ICEM in KAIST (2022).

• Masters Student

  • Mar 2014 - Feb 2016

  During the master's degree, I had investigated the effects of fluid shear stress on brain cells (typically for the brain immune cell, namely microglia) based on the microfluidic channel (Thesis: Oscillatory behavior of microglial cells). More broadly, I was interested in the modulation of cellular phenotypes with physical stimulators (fluid shear stress, electrical stimulation, stiffness, and tensile stress).

  • Mar 2018 - Nov 2018

  I worked as a visiting scholar for 9 months at the Ravi Bellamkonda's lab at Duke University (NC, USA). I participated in the investigation of electrical stimulation as a therapeutic strategy for relieving neuroinflammation after traumatic brain injury with animal models, and published a paper as a first author based on the results.
