Brief bio:

I am interested in the interaction between environment and plant development. I have been researching in Prof. Ilha Lee’s lab in SNU since 2014. During my Master’s course, I studied non-model amphibious plant, Ranunculus trichophyllus. For my Ph.D. course, I am interested in flowering time determination in A. thaliana, especially the regulation of the floral repressor FLC. Now I am studying vernalization pathway and autonomous pathway regulating FLC. I look forward to expanding my understanding in plant development in model plant and then jumping into a broader non-model plants.
