Ji Young Byun

I’m a Ph.D. candidate in the Artificial Intelligence for Engineering and Medicine Lab at Department of Biomedical Engineering, Johns Hopkins University. My research focuses on foundation models and their real-world applications in healthcare.

Under the guidance of Prof. Rama Chellappa, I work on tackling challenges such as multimodality, data scarcity, and domain shifts in clinical datasets as they relate to foundation models .

I received my M.S. and B.S. degree in Dept. of Bio and Brain Engineering from KAIST, under the supervision of Prof. Yong Jeong. My master’s research focused on graph neural networks and leveraging multimodal data—including MRI, demographics, and genomics—for Alzheimer’s Disease prediction.
