Education
Ph.D. Materials Science and Engineering, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor 2008M.S. Materials Science and Engineering, Seoul National University, Seoul Korea 2004
B.S. Materials Science and Engineering, Pohang University of Science and Technology, Pohang, Korea 2001
Research Focus
The first project is in the area of biofilms, or fouling of surfaces by bacteria. This is a pressing issue in a wide variety of settings, including infections of medical implants and blockage of pipes in industrial processes. The second project involves in-vivo bioimaging of cell tracking.Publications
