Sujung is a PhD candidate in the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UC Santa Cruz (UCSC), working as a member of Applied Optics Group with professor Holger Schmidt. During her PhD, she studied coupled quantum system of magnon-phonon in a CoFe Nanomagnet, magnetization dynamics in Heusler alloy/CoFe film, patterning & magnetoransport characterization in magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs), nano-patterning on epitaxially grown magnetic thin films, and helicity-dependent all-optical switching (HD-AOS) in TbFe thin film.

Before starting her PhD program at UCSC, Sujung studied synthesis and growth mechanism of GeS twisted plates at UC Berkeley with professor Jie Yao as a visiting student scholar, and she earned her B.S. and M.S. in Physics at Ewha Womans University in Korea, specializing light confinement in Si nanostructures vis Mie resonance and Plasmonic effect.

Besides doing research, Sujung also enjoys surfing, swimming and playing tennis.
