Hyojin Lee, a high school student at Chadwick International School in South Korea, has a keen interest in science and a great passion for learning.
Before joining CCIR, Hyojin participated in research related to xenotransplantation. Within her school, she serves as an editor for the STEM magazine and as a director for a medical service organisation.
In addition to her interest in STEM, Hyojin also enjoys literature and public speaking. She has been recognized with several awards, including the YMUN Outstanding Delegate and Best Position Paper, KMUN Honourable Mention, and HMUN Best Delegate in South Korea. Furthermore, she ranked 28th among speakers, including national ones, at WSDO 2022 and achieved 13th place on the high school speakers tab.
As a participant in the CCIR Academy, Hyojin conducted a research project titled “Understanding Psychopathy through Structural and Functional MRI.” Her research focuses on the exploration of psychopathy using structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques. The aim of this research is to gain insights into the neurological and physiological foundations of psychopathic traits or behaviours by analysing both the brain’s structure and its functional activity.
In a recent episode of CCIR Academy Student Spotlights, Hyojin shared valuable insights from her research journey and expressed gratitude for the support provided by her professor and the CCIR Academy throughout her research endeavours.
