His current research interests include biological applications of estimation/control theory, multi-scale modeling of biological tissues, and digital microfluidics/bioMEMS. Prior to joining UCONN, he was a postdoctoral associate in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Cornell University. He received his M.D. from the Seoul National University College of Medicine in Korea. He was a research associate at the Samsung Biomedical Research Institute (Seoul, Korea) before joining the Micro/Nano Devices and Systems (MiNDS) Lab at the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) for his graduate work. He earned his M.S. and Ph.D. in electrical engineering from UTD, specializing in computational biology and digital microfluidics.
