Brief bio: I obtained Ph.D. degree in biochemistry at Seoul National University and am currently a post-doctoral researcher at the same laboratory. I have focused on how plants respond to ambient temperature changes during my research. Outside of my time at the lab bench, I enjoy watching a variety of sports events such as soccer, baseball, and e-sports.
