I am on sabbatical leave Fall 2026 - Spring 2027. During this time, I will be engaged in collaborative scholarly activities in South Korea. My main collaborators are in Yonsei and Sogang universities, Seoul. I would be happy to meet old and new science friends in Korea! (+ continue discussing more exciting science with friends in the US too) 2026년 가을부터 2027년 봄학기까지 1년간 안식년 프로젝트로 한국에 머물며 학술활동을 하게 되었습니다. 지난 연구성과를 정리하고 출판하면서 다양한 학술적 교류를 통해 의미있는 미래의 연구방향을 설정하고자 합니다. 이 기간에는 어떠한 종류의 학술적 교류도 즐거운 마음으로 임할 계획입니다! I am looking for motivated students interested in exciting projects about molecular understanding of lipid-protein interaction and spatio-temporal organization. If you are interested in any of these key terms, the project might match your interest: biophysical chemistry, biochemistry, fluorescence imaging, image analysis, kinetics and equilibrium modeling, protein chemistry, protein expression in bacteria and purificaition, lipid chemistry, in vitro reconstitution, and phase behavior. Students with good work ethics, proof of academic execellence and a goal to continue studying or teaching science will be considered with priority, but all interested students are welcome to talk to me about the research opportunity.
