I joined the Ronald Lab as a postdoctoral researcher in June 2023. I earned my Ph.D. in Crop Science and Biotechnology from Seoul National University, where I also completed my Bachelor's and Master's degrees. During my doctoral studies, my research focused on understanding the genetic and molecular mechanisms that control important agronomic traits in rice, such as flowering time, leaf senescence, and abiotic stress tolerance. In the Ronald Lab, I am eager to explore the transcriptional regulators of the rice peptide hormone OsPSYs and its multifaceted roles in plant defense and development. In addition to my scientific pursuits, I enjoy playing the violin, watching soccer games, and playing tennis.
