Jiwon Choi, M.S.

Jiwon's research background is in bioengineering, beginning as an undergraduate at Purdue University in the Implantable Microsystems Research Lab. During her M.S. in Neural Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh, she developed microelectrodes for dopamine detection in the striatum of nonhuman primates to study dopamine’s role in long-term learning.

Now Jiwon is pursuing a Ph.D. in Neural Engineering at Pitt and she aims to contribute in advancing diagnostic and therapeutic tools for individuals with neurological impairments. Outside of lab, Jiwon loves cooking and baking, watching movies, and listening to music!
