BME Welcomes New Assistant Professor
2022-09-05
BME is pleased to introduce new faculty member, Professor Park Hangue, in the fall of 2022. After completing his bachelor's degree in electrical and computer engineering at Seoul National University, Professor Park Hangue gained experience in semiconductor integrated circuits during his master's and Samsung Electronics tenure and conducted research on capsule endoscopy. Later, he received a Ph.D. from the Georgia Institute of Technology for research on improving cat gait using closed neural stimulation. After that, as an assistant professor at Texas A&M University for 5 years, he conducted interesting studies on neural signal control and neural prosthetic system design using electrical stimulation. The main purpose of the study is to supplement human incomplete motor skills and rehabilitate after trauma, and has recently expanded its scope of use to enhance human and improve motor skills. The focus of the research is on designing semiconductor integrated circuit-based biomimicry to efficiently communicate with the nervous system and have minimal power consumption & size, and its effectiveness is thoroughly verified through human and animal experiments. Welcome to BME!

Researcher Lim Eun-Ji has won the Summa Cum Laude award at the ISMRM
2022-06-15
At the International Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine in 2022, Lim Eun-ji, a GBME Ph.D. student (Professor Park Jae-seok) won the Summa Cum Laude, which is awarded in the top 5% of the total abstracts. This student had a presentation of her research titled "Self-calibrating aliasing-controlled simple multi-sliced image reconstruction from generalized 3D Fourier encoding perspective" as power pitch. This study uses variable density sampling and 3D Fourier signal models in multi-band MRI to accurately isolate and restore signals of multiple bands superimposed on the acquired data to each fault signal by simultaneously obtaining low resolution reference signal samples without additional image acquisition.

BME Welcomes Two New Assistant Professors
2021-03-04
[Left : Professor HyungGoo Kim, Right : Professor Jung Seung Lee] BME is pleased to introduce two new faculty members, Professor HyungGoo Kim and Professor Jung Seung Lee, in the spring of 2021. Dr. HyungGoo Kim graduated from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering and worked as a software engineer. He got interested in the brain and studied visual cortical neurons in monkeys (M.S. and Ph.D. ). After studying the dopamine system in mice as a postdoctoral researcher, he was appointed as an Assistant Professor in IBS CNIR / BME at SKKU. His long-term goal is to elucidate the brain's learning mechanisms that can be adapted to improve artificial intelligence. He is also interested in computational approaches to understand mental disorders such as addiction. Dr. Jung Seung Lee grew up in Seoul, Korea and received his BA and PhD in the Department of Biotechnology at Yonsei University. Dr. Lee’s previous work focused on the development of novel functional biomaterials for successful stem cell engineering and tissue regeneration. For his post-doctoral research, he transitioned to the fields of translational engineering in the laboratory of Professor Robert Langer and Giovanni Traverso at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) where he developed a series of novel technologies for smart sensor and delivery platform for disease treatment. His current research interest is focused on developing the novel biomaterials for immune modulation and tissue reconstruction. Additionally, Dr. Jung Seung Lee continues his efforts towards the development of next generation of stem cell therapeutics. Welcome to BME!
