Hyojin Lee is a high school student at Chadwick International School in South Korea. She has a keen interest in science and a strong passion for learning.
Research and School Activities
Before joining CCIR Academy, Hyojin participated in research related to xenotransplantation. At school, she serves as an editor for the STEM magazine. She also directs a medical service organisation.
Beyond STEM, Hyojin enjoys literature and public speaking. She has earned several awards in Model United Nations competitions. These include YMUN Outstanding Delegate and Best Position Paper, KMUN Honourable Mention, and HMUN Best Delegate in South Korea.
Hyojin has also achieved notable results in public speaking. At WSDO 2022, she ranked 28th among speakers, including national competitors. She also placed 13th on the high school speakers tab.
Research on Psychopathy Through Structural and Functional MRI
At CCIR Academy, Hyojin conducted a research project titled “Understanding Psychopathy through Structural and Functional MRI.”
Her research examines psychopathy using structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These techniques allow researchers to study the brain’s structure and activity.
The project aims to explore the neurological and physiological foundations of psychopathic traits and behaviours. By examining both brain structure and function, the research seeks to provide insights into these complex traits.
