Sung Soo Jang
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurology and Neurological Sciences
BioDr.Jang is a neuroscientist who has a strong passion and interest in investigating the mechanisms that underlie neurodevelopmental disorders such as Epilepsy and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). He is a scientist who does not dreams of building successful career through science, but would like to become a pure brain researcher who loves scientific discovery itself and help patients suffering from Neurological disorders through academic observations.

Abbas Khojasteh
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurology and Neurological Sciences
BioHis current medical study and research at Stanford is directed towards applying early detection strategies to the treatment of brain tumors and reversing the damaging side effects of treatment-related brain injury. He received his Ph.D from Zurich University and completed postdoctoral neurosurgery training at Duke University where he was studying experimental models of neuro modulation of glycemia and immune system in infectious diseases and inflammatory disorders. He evaluated the Electrical modulation efficacy in ongoing inflammation and hyperglicemia under different conditions, such as somatotopy organizations, disease states and intensities (electrical current/potential); and he recognized different neuro fibers controlling inflammation and glycemia networks. He pushed further his idea to find out whether regulation of glycemia and inflammation by electricity is dependent on central processing and to discover a new mechanism controlling insulin production. For this novel study, he performed Spinal Cord surgery. Also, as a bioengineer, his previous research focused on drug discovery, cell biology and cell cultivation techniques for optimization of growth and bioengineering parameters in bioreactors. He has experience in expression of therapeutic antibodies and production of secondary metabolites in mammalian and plant cell cultivations for therapeutics and diagnostics aims.

Dian Lu (Lyu 吕)
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurology and Neurological Sciences
BioDian received her Master's degree in Cognitive Neurosciences from University College London, and her Ph.D. in Clinical Neurosciences from the University of Cambridge. Her previous work focused on default-mode-network functional connectivity and inter-network interactions across different brain states. She is interested in consciousness studies involving self-related cognition using intracranial EEG and electrical stimulation and precision mapping of anatomy and function by leveraging computational modeling.

Junyoung Park
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurology and Neurological Sciences
BioDr. Jun Young graduated from the Department of Biostatistics at the School of Public Health, Seoul National University, Korea. His major field of study is biostatistics, with a specific focus on the application of machine learning and statistical analysis to medical imaging and genetic data. During his doctoral studies, he concentrated on two primary research areas. Firstly, he dedicated himself to the development of deep learning models for medical images, primarily centered on T1-MRI and cognitive function test images related to Alzheimer's Disease. Secondly, he engaged in extensive genome-wide association analyses of medical images associated with Alzheimer's Disease, using statistical algorithms to uncover novel insights into the genetic factors contributing to this complex condition. Currently, as a postdoctoral fellow at the Greicius Lab at Stanford, he aims to develop statistical methods to discover novel structural variants and model polygenetic risk scores using long-read sequencing data.
