Advisor: Prof. A. D. Rollett • Obtained Master of Science Degree in December 2021 • Being awarded Graduate Fellowship
Project: “Predicting half-activation membrane potential (V1/2) using ML algorithms” • Extracted features from a protein sequence dataset to calculate pairwise similarities and determine feature importance, thereby constructing a deep learning-based predictor
Director: Prof. Dr. Liu Hao Tjeng / Superviser: Dr. Alexander C. Komarek Project: “Discovering novel oxide materials with exotic electromagnetic properties” • Designed and synthesized single crystals with an optical floating zone (OFZ) furnace, then measured their structural properties at room temperature and physical properties at extreme temperatures (2 K - 700 K)
Adviser: Prof. Rodney S. Ruoff & Prof. Won Kyung Seong / Mentor: Mr. Dong Ho Jeon Project: “Novel synthesis methods for low dimensional carbon materials” • Utilized custom-built furnaces to develop novel methods for synthesizing graphene from other two-dimensional materials and characterized the outcomes using SEM, XPS, and Raman spectroscopy
Advisers: Prof. Keon Wook Kang & Prof. Hyewon Youn / Mentor: Mr. Ho Rim Oh Project: “Synthesis of nanoparticles for biomedical applications and their in vitro characterization” • Analyzed correlation between liposome’s physical and biological properties with its lipid composition • Characterized size, surface charge and morphology of nanoparticles using DLS and TEM and performed in vitro characterizations of biological nanoparticles
