Wooyeol Lee
I am a first-year MS/Ph.D. student in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at Seoul National University, advised by Prof. Kyungsu Kim at the Artificial Intelligence & Biomedical Informatics Lab. With a background in computer science, I aim to understand biological phenomena by computationally visualizing and simulating their molecular mechanisms.
My long-term goal is to bridge experimental observations with dynamic, structural explanations of how biomolecules move, interact, and function. Through this direction, I hope to contribute to drug discovery by enabling a deeper mechanistic understanding of biochemical processes.
Research
My research focuses on computational modeling and simulation of biomolecular mechanisms. I am studying how to integrate structural data from X-ray crystallography and Cryo-EM, model-predicted structures such as AlphaFold 3, quantum chemical insights from DFT, and molecular dynamics simulations to visualize and understand biochemical reaction mechanisms.
