HyeongJun Kim

HyeongJun was born and raised in Korea, where he attended Yonsei University to study physics. After spending two and half years in an LED wafer company, he moved to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. There he did single-molecule studies on the molecular motor myosin VI under the supervision of Dr. Paul R. Selvin. After earning a PhD in Physics in 2011, he moved to the Loparo lab in Harvard Medical School as a postdoctoral researcher to continue applying single-molecule techniques to other interesting biological questions. When he has some free time, he enjoys playing soccer and hanging out with his friends.
