I am a researcher in biomedical engineering, neurotechnology, and medical AI. I am interested in deep learning, machine learning, brain network analysis, multimodal brain imaging (MRI, fMRI, EEG, fNIRS etc.), neuromodulation, and brain computer interface (brain machine interface). My expertise includes deep learning and machine learning, signal processing, medical imaging, and bio-signal analysis, and I am proficient in Python, MATLAB, R Studio, and C/C++ programming. Most of my research has centered around using deep learning technology to analyze neural signals. My goal is to become an outstanding researcher in the field of medical AI.
My research at New Jersey Institute of Technology involved leveraging deep learning to study brain networks using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). I investigated how brain regions respond to natural stimuli, such as movie-watching, to reveal how different visual features activate specific brain networks. Here, I used VGG-16, one of the Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), to segment various features from videos. Additionally, I developed a deep learning classifier combining gray and white matter signals from fMRI for improved autism diagnosis accuracy using a novel graph neural network. Previously, at Kyung Hee University, I contributed to a study examining the early subtle skin changes from UV exposure with Raman Spectroscopy, aimed at enhancing early skin cancer detection. I developed a parallel CNN model inspired by GoogLeNet’s structure to classify subtle changes over time in UV-exposed skin. Ultimately, I aspire to be a brain researcher dedicated to helping individuals with neurological or brain-related conditions live healthier and more fulfilling lives.
I hold a Master of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering from New Jersey Institute of Technology and a Master of Engineering and Bachelor of Engineering degree in Biomedical Engineering from Kyung Hee University, Korea.
Currently, I am working as a Lab Technician in the CNAlab (Dr. Jongsang Son) at the New Jersey Institute of Technology with my Post-OPT status and am looking for a PhD Program to further my research interests.
