About
I am currently a 4th-year Ph.D. student at Kwangwoon University in the Advanced Sensor and Energy Research (ASER) Lab. My research focuses on developing innovative wearable sensors and energy harvesting technologies, leveraging cutting-edge machine learning techniques, including pattern recognition, to enhance sensor capabilities. Over the past 3 years, I have co-authored 15+ peer-reviewed papers, contributing significantly to the fields of wearable sensors, triboelectric nanogenerators, energy harvesting, and self-powered systems. Additionally, I am involved in developing applications and interfaces for newly created sensor technologies, aiming to integrate them seamlessly into real-world IoT and Industry 4.0 applications.
Ph.D Candidate & Software Developer
Prior to my Ph.D. journey, I gained hands-on experience as a software developer, focusing on backend development with Oracle and MySQL databases. I specialized in optimizing payment gateway systems, enhancing user experience by integrating APIs, and adhering to agile methodologies. My professional background also includes quality assurance and working within multinational corporate networks, alongside proficiency in multiple programming languages.
