About me
Jihyun is a first-year PhD student in Clinical Psychology at Yale University. She works with Dr. Jutta Joormann in the Affect Regulation and Cognition Lab. Her research during the doctoral program is supported by ILJU Fellowship.
Before joining the Ph.D. program, Jihyun had worked as a research technician in the Rutledge Lab directed by Dr. Robb Rutledge at Yale University. In August 2021, she received a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology being advised in the Computational Clinical Science Lab by Dr. Woo-Young Ahn at Seoul National University. After graduating from Washington University in St. Louis with the Bachelor’s degree in Accounting (Honors in Management), she started to wonder the interaction between mental health, human decision-making processes and emotions.
Her main research interests include 1) language use in depression and anxiety, 2) interaction between momentary mood and choices, and 3) individualized treatment plans for mood disorders. She has been mainly utilizing neuroimaging (e.g., fMRI, fNIRS), computational modeling and natural language processing.
Outside the lab, she is a rock climber, pianist, and (occasionally) k-pop dancer 💃😄
