Work History

Co-manager of a Startup Pet Insect Company

Insect Star
08.2023 - 05.2024

Developed the technology to inoculate mycellium without contamination

Streamlined the process to make hypha-block(mycellium strain L.sajor caju), food for pet insects

Lowered the defective rate (contamination, culture failure, etc)

Enlargement of each individuals(Genus: Dorcus, Allomyrina) by both artificially selecting the breedline and providing balanced diet with their perspective

Nutritional Physiology of Insect

Seoul Nat'l Univ, Korea
03.2022 - 10.2023

Experiment of Adaptation to different type of diet(especially the balance of Macronutrient ratio, Protein to Carbohydrate)

Finding out the dietary optimal region of each species(Optimal region: The region where the insect can have it's perfect physiological performance; for example dry mass, fecundity, wing area)

Species: D.melanogaster Canton-S strain,T.molitor

Learning how to make artificial diet(both holidic diet and genexel diet)

Designed several experimental method: How to inoculate different species in experimental cage, How to make semi-solid insect diet by adjusting percentage of agar, macronutrient ratio, etc
