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 associate professor at the Department of Cognitive Sciences at Hanyang University.

Graduate Students

Sungbeen Park (PhD)
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 the Common lab at present.

Seojin Yoon (PhD)
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.

Antoine Caraballo (PhD)
antoine19@hanyang.ac.kr
Antoine Caraballo obtained a bachelor's degree in neuroscience and a master's degree in bioinformatics. His studies focused on modeling biological phenomena and analyzing large-scale biological data. Recently, he started his PhD at the ComMon lab and wants to delve into the mechanisms underlying memory encoding, consolidation, and retrieval, uncovering how neural circuits adapt to encode and store information.

Moosung Kim (PhD)
moodern@hanyang.ac.kr
Moosung Kim has majored in psychology and computer engineering and has built a career in the field of artificial intelligence research. Due to a strong interest in both humans and robots, he has been keenly following the latest research in neuro-robotics. He is particularly interested in research focused on the integration of motor learning and cognitive processes. Additionally, he is paying attention to studies that enable robots to learn movements in complex environments like humans and to handle various cognitive tasks simultaneously.

Hanul Park (Master's)
hanul2001@hanyang.ac.kr
Hanul Park obtained a B.S. in Sports Science at the Seoul National University of Science and Technology. She has planned to study the mechanisms of learning and memory in the brain, particularly interested in how procedural memory is formed through motor learning. She aims to understand how the brain’s neural networks learn and retain motor skills and wants to contribute valuable insights in neuroscience and rehabilitation.

Researchers / Research Assistants

Yonghyun Kwon (Researcher)
mrkyh380@hanyang.ac.kr
Yonghyun Kwon obtained a B.S. in Medical Biotechnology and double-majored 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.

Hyeree Yoon (RA)
graceyhr01@gmail.com
Hyeree Yoon is an undergraduate student majoring in Computer Science at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies. She is interested in the neural mechanisms of the human brain and how the brain responses to external senses. She has a dream to create artificial intelligence that most closely resembles humans.
