Junseo is a Ph.D. student in the Communication Science and Disorders department under the mentorship of Dr. Susan Thibeault. Junseo earned his B.A in Contemporary Music at Hanyang University in 2021, and is expected to finish his Masters in Speech-Language Pathology at Daegu Catholic University in 2023. Junseo has sung, composed, engineered, or produced 25 songs during his music career. He also worked at the Medical Voice otorhinolaryngology clinic as a speech-language pathologist and a clinical vocologist, where he taught voice rehabilitation and habilitation techniques to voice disordered patients and voice professionals. Junseo also worked as a research/clinical assistant at the Hearing, Voice, and Language Center at Daegu Catholic University and has been involved in many research projects, such as building an A.I model with enhanced voice recognition for the disordered voice, the electrophysiological and the acoustic properties of the vocal vibrato technique, and the extrinsic laryngeal muscle activity during a semi-occluded vocal tract exercise. His research interests are better understanding the nature of the wound healing process of the vocal folds after mechanical loading or injuries.
