About Me
I'm a Ph.D student of Yonsei university, department of computational science and engineering. I'm an AI developer and researcher of Computational Methods in Medical Engineering (CMME) Lab. My research interest is in adapting computational engineering techniques in medical domain, specifically for modeling and analyzing physical phenomena during treatment procedures.
Research Interests

Transcranial Focused Ultrasound
Low-intensity transcranial focused ultrasound (LIFU) is an emerging noninvasive technique for precisely modulating targets within the brain. Its major challenge is skull-induced attenuation and aberration, which distort the acoustic focus. To address this, we develop AI-accelerated simulation methods and patient-specific acoustic holographic lenses for accurate and efficient treatment planning.

Physics-Guided AI
High-fidelity numerical solvers accurately model physical phenomena, but their computational cost limits real-time applications. Physics-guided AI combines simulation data with physical knowledge to learn fast and reliable mappings between treatment conditions and resulting fields. Our work explores surrogate modeling, super-resolution networks, and neural operators across acoustic, thermal, and mechanical problems.
-
Digital Twins
Medical digital twins provide virtual representations of patients and treatments that can be updated as conditions change. Their practical use requires models that integrate patient anatomy, treatment parameters, and physical processes while producing predictions in real time. We develop simulation-driven digital twins for personalized treatment planning and monitoring, with a particular focus on transcranial focused ultrasound.

Medical AI
Medical AI can extract clinically relevant information from complex imaging and physiological data. However, purely data-driven models may overlook the physical mechanisms that govern treatment response. We combine multimodal learning from CT and MR images, tissue segmentation, and physics-based prediction to support safer and more personalized therapies.
