Principal Investigator

Sungshin Kim
sungshinkim@hanyang.ac.kr
Sungshin Kim graduated from Seoul National University with double majors in electrical engineering and chemical engineering. In 2013, he completed PhD degree in neuroscience at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, USA. Since 2014, he has worked as a postdoctoral scholar at the University of Chicago and Northwestern University. He was selected as one of seven first recipients of YSF program (Young Scientists Fellowship) funded by Institute of Basic Sciences (IBS) in Korea. He started CLMN lab September, 2017. Now, he is an assistant professor at the Department of Cognitive Sciences at Hanyang University.

Graduate Students

Sungbeen Park (PhD Student)
pjk629@hanyang.ac.kr
Sungbeen Park obtained a B.S. in Applied Physics at Hanyang Univ. ERICA campus and an M.S. in Computational Physics at Hanyang University. His main study was quantum phase transitions of various physical models in low temperature via matrix product states. Recently, he has planned to learn human motor controls and rehabilitations, also has been following rTMS protocols and human reinforcement learning in CLMN lab at present.

Seojin Yoon (PhD Student)
pures1@hanyang.ac.kr
Seojin Yoon obtained a B.S. in Computer Engineering and has years of experience as a software engineer. He focuses on how the brain works and how we simulate the brain activities in terms of Computational Neurosciences. His current research interest include a memory consolidation that a category of processes that stabilize a memory trace after its initial acquisition, and figuring out how people function.

Junghyun Kim (Master's Student)
juhng62@hanyang.ac.kr
Junghyun Kim graduated from University of Toronto with a double major in neuroscience and psychology as well as a minor in computer science and is now pursuing a Master's degree. He loves revealing mysteries of the brain and making a computational model of it. He is also interested in how neuroscience explains Ai and makes it better. Taking academics aside, he enjoys playing a drum and Pump It Up, and he is a huge fan of fruits and smoothies.

Yonghyun Kwon (Master's Student)
mrkyh380@hanyang.ac.kr
Yonghyun Kwon obtained a B.S. in Medical Biotechnology and a double major in Bio Software at Kangwon National University. He is interested in mechanisms related to memory and motor skills, which are highly associated with degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. He is also interested in using computing technology to explain how human behavior and memory occur.

Researchers / Research Assistants

Antoine Caraballo (Visiting Researcher)
Antoine Caraballo obtained a bachelor’s degree in neurosciences and is currently pursuing a master's degree in bioinformatics. He is interested in how information is processed, retained and stored in the human brain. Aside from that, he likes to play games and eat good food.

Baekho Jang (Research Assistant)
aromy77@hanyang.ac.kr
Baekho Jang is a sophomore undergraduate student in Department of Data Science, majoring in Psychological Cognitive Science at Hanyang University. He is interested in how human thinks and acts, and he wants to find it out by studying how human brain and nervous system work.

Jiwoong Shin (Research Assistant)
shinproto@gmail.com
Jiwoong Shin is an undergraduate student majoring in Biomedical engineering at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies. He wants to study the relationship between memory functions and decision-making with computation. He dreams of becoming a neuroscientist who can understand human by analyzing brain.

Yunho Bae (Research Assistant)
joelstar1@hanyang.ac.kr
Yunho Bae is a junior undergraduate student majoring in Policy at Hanyang University. After reading the “functionalism” articles, he wants to figure out human behavior and memory in terms of neural mechanisms using computational method. Now as a beginner, he is studying with passion step by step. He enjoys hanging out with friends and watching movies.
