Biography

I am a 3rd year PhD candidate at the Precision Bioinformatics Alliance, School of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Sydney and at the Computational Systems Biology Group at the Children’s Medical Research Institute. I am supervised by Dr Pengyi Yang, Professor Patrick Tam, and Dr Pierre Osteil. I earned my MSc in Biological Sciences from Seoul National University, Korea and my BSc in Biomedical Sciences from Imperial College London, UK.

My main research focus is to understand stem cell biology through high-dimensional multi-omic data and single-cell technologies. Much of my work has focused on trying to apply and develop computational methods to gain new biological insight, particularly for the analysis of cell identity and cell state transitions. I am also working in the wet-lab to investigate the differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells to gut organoids.
