About Me

Hi! I'm Aaron, a Korean-American from Cypress, Texas. Currently, I am a Junior at Texas A&M University, studying Applied Mathematics.

I have a strong interest in computational neuroscience and bio/brain-inspired computing, areas that explore how we can use principles from the brain to design smarter, more adaptive technologies.

My journey into this field is personal. I was diagnosed with periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) as a baby, which sparked a lasting curiosity about the brain and its complexities. That early experience continues to inspire my passion for understanding neural systems and building brain-like models through math and computation.
