I graduated in 2024 with a Bachelor’s degree in Materials Science and Engineering from Kookmin University in Seoul, Korea. As an undergraduate researcher, I worked on the fabrication and characterization of flexible organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices. After graduation, I joined the Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials, where I studied aerosol behavior in fluid systems. I joined the Defect Lab in Fall 2025 and am excited to explore how materials defects influence device performance while continuing to grow as a researcher throughout my PhD journey. Outside of research, I love spending time in nature, hiking, practicing morning yoga, and puzzling.
