I'm a Research Associate in Professor Kevin Hay's lab at the Arnie Charbonneau Cancer Institute, Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary. My current research focuses on CAR-T cell engineering for acute myeloid leukemia.

I was previously an Eyes High Post-Doctoral Associate in Professor Li-Fang (Jack) Chu's lab in the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Calgary, and before that a Cystic Fibrosis Canada Research Fellow at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. I completed my PhD at Sungkyunkwan University in August 2019, where I was supervised by Professor Kyeong Kyu Kim, head of the Laboratory of Structural Biology in the Samsung Biomedical Research Institute and Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine. I also hold a Certificate in University Teaching and Learning from the University of Calgary's Taylor Institute.
