I received my BS degree in electrical engineering from Sogang University, Seoul, Korea and MS degree in biomedical engineering from UT at Austin. I joined Prof. Daniel Johnston's laboratory, as a PhD student, in 2006.

My current research interests are in the modulation of sodium channel by various neurophamacological agents and the functional consequences of these modulations. I plan to achieve this using whole cell/ cell-attached/ nucleated patch techniques.
