Young Gyu Yoon

Young Gyu Yoon completed a Ph. D. in the department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in MIT. Before that, he received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from KAIST. During his time in the Boyden lab, he worked on new ways of imaging the living brain, as well as new computational strategies for making maps of the brain. He then went on to a tenure-track faculty job at KAIST.
