Beyond my academic and research background, I bring a deep curiosity and passion for innovation in Biotechnology and Molecular Biology. I am fluent in English and have basic working knowledge of Korean, which supports my communication in international and multicultural environments. In my free time, I enjoy staying engaged with bioinformatics coding challenges and scientific illustration, which help me visualize complex biological processes for publications and presentations. I have also contributed to collaborative research projects involving interdisciplinary teams and take pride in mentoring junior researchers and sharing knowledge. My hobbies include traveling and horticulture particularly maintaining plant nurseries, which aligns naturally with my academic interests.
