Kangjoo received her BS degree in Radiological Science from Yonsei University in 2009, being involved in PET imaging studies in the Molecular Imaging Laboratory. She pursued her graduate studies in the laboratory of Bio-Imaging and Signal Processing and obtained her MS degree in Bio and Brain Engineering from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in 2011.
She has been a Ph.D. student in MNI since September 2012, being involved in the Integrated Program in Neuroscience, McGill University, under the supervision of Dr. Grova and Dr. Gotman. Her current research focuses on Development of Multimodal Analysis of Abnormal Functional Hub Organization in the Brain: Application in Epilepsy.
