About Me

I am a Ph.D. Student in School of Mathematics (Computational Science and Engineering), Yonsei University and a member of Computational Methods in Medical Engineering (CMME) Lab. My research focuses on therapeutic ultrasound, computational modeling, and medical AI. I am particularly interested in transcranial focused ultrasound, acoustic wave propagation and aberration correction, numerical simulation, and learning-based methods for therapeutic applications.

Research Interests

Therapeutic Ultrasound

Ultrasound physics, acoustic propagation, transcranial focused ultrasound, and therapeutic applications.

Computational Modeling
