YongHyeok (Jeff) jUNG

Hi! I'm a first-year Biomedical Engineering and Psychology student at UC Davis. During high school, I volunteered as an art therapist, working with individuals with cognitive and psychiatric disorders. Every time, my goal was to hear them say, "Today is better than yesterday." This passion led me to my current research, where I explore neural connectivity in information processing among patients with neurological disorders. Currently, my research focuses on how disruptions in neural activity affect cognition, and in the future, I aim to develop engineering-based solutions to enhance patient outcomes. Beyond academia, I'm just a gymrat and love outdoor activities—I run 30 minutes daily and engage in weight training for an hour every day!

FUN FACT ABOUT ME: One of my biggest bucket list goals is to complete ten skydives before I turn 30!
