Personal:
Youngho Seo has obtained his B.S. degree in Physics from Korea Advanced Institute
of Science and Technology. He also holds a M.S. degree in Physics with specialization
in space plasma physics from University of Alabama in Huntsville. After one
year of graduate study with focus on Medical Physics at the University of
California, Irvine, he returned to basic science to obtain his second M.S.
and a Ph.D. in Physics from University of California, Los Angeles where he
wrote a doctoral dissertation on experimental particle astrophysics. Prior
to joining UCSF Physics Research Laboratory directed by Prof. Bruce Hasegawa
in 2003, he held a postdoctoral position for one year at UCLA in experimental
neutrino physics.
