Sung Won is a neuroscientist with a deep passion for understanding the brain's intricate mechanisms that govern cognitive processes, motor coordination, pain perception, and social interactions. His research explores that physiological and computational underpinnings of these functions, combining cutting edge techniques such as in vivo electrophysiology, Miniscope/E-Scope calcium imaging and behavioral assays. By unraveling how neural circuits drive behavior and adapt to challenges, he aims to contribute to breakthroughs in neuroscience that address pressing medical and societal needs. 

He is currently an Senior Associate Research Fellow at the The Lundquist Institute working on the "cerebellar contribution to behavioral flexibility". Sung Won has also worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of California, Los Angeles - School of Medicine where he worked on the unveiling the physiological properties of the cerebellum and its connection to the frontal cortex during social behavior in mice. 

Sung Won holds a B.S. degree in Brain Behavior and Cognitive Sciences from the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor and a Ph.D. in Neurophysiology from the Seoul National University, College of Medicine.
