About
I am a PhD candidate in Advanced Materials Science & Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University (advisor: Prof. Sang-Woo Kim). My research focuses on the development of (i) implantable and (ii) wearable ultrasound systems for biomedical applications. (i) I synthesize functional composite materials and fabricate devices for ultrasound-driven triboelectric energy harvesters aimed at powering implantable medical systems. In addition, (ii) I design and develop wearable ultrasound patches optimized for efficient acoustic power transfer. I have extensive experience in multiphysics simulations and preclinical evaluations for biomedical applications, including nerve regeneration, neuromodulation, and pain management.
