I earned my M.S. degree at Seoul National University (South Korea) in 2014 where I developed new Diversity-Oriented Synthesis (DOS) and Privileged Substructure-Based Diversity-Oriented Synthesis (pDOS) pathways under the guidance of Prof. Seung Bum Park. In late 2017, I received my Ph.D. from the University of Copenhagen (Denmark) where I developed a new drug design method (LEGO-inspired drug design) and discovered a new fluorination reaction under the supervision of Prof. John Nielsen and Prof. Søren B.Christensen. In 2017, I was a visiting researcher at the University of Helsinki, Finland. I have finished my first postdoctoral studies at Aarhus University (Denmark) with Prof. Alexander N. Zelikin and a second postdoctoral research associate at the University of Pittsburgh, USA.
