Email: jinkang, followed by @mit.edu

Jinyoung is a postdoctoral associate in the Synthetic Neurobiology group (co-mentored with Prof. Guoping Feng) at MIT. She completed her B.S. and M.S. degrees from the Department of Chemical Engineering at Yonsei University and her Ph.D. in the Department of Nanoengineering at the University of California San Diego. Her doctoral research focused on the delivery of therapeutics and imaging agents with porous silicon nanoparticles. In the Synthetic Neurobiology group, she is interested in investigating novel tools for mapping and controlling brain activity.
