I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Integrative Bioscience and Biotechnology at Sejong University, Seoul, Republic of Korea. I earned my B.S. in Physics from Sejong University in 2010 and received my Ph.D. in Energy Science from Sungkyunkwan University in 2017. Following my Ph.D., I completed postdoctoral training in the Disease Biophysics Group at Harvard University's Wyss Institute and Boston Children’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School from 2017 to 2022. My research expertise encompasses tissue engineering, biohybrid robotics, synthetic biology, artificial organ development, organoid technology, and advanced biomaterials. My pioneering work involves creating biohybrid systems integrating human‑induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)‑derived cardiac tissues for applications in regenerative medicine, disease modeling, and biomimetic robotics. My groundbreaking research includes developing autonomously swimming biohybrid fish powered by human cardiac cells, published in Science (2022), highlighting innovative approaches toward bio‑inspired robotic systems. I also engineered photosynthetic artificial organelles, reconstructing spinach protein systems to control ATP metabolism, published in Nature Biotechnology (2018), advancing the field of synthetic cell and energy metabolism design.
