Sanghyun Park

Sanghyun Park is a PhD candidate in mechanical engineering whose research focuses on developing long-acting implantable systems to enhance patient acceptability and adherence to treatment, particularly addressing preventive healthcare for HIV, tuberculosis, malaria, and contraception for family planning. As a MathWorks Fellow, he is developing biodegradable osmotic pumps that have demonstrated the ability to provide constant drug release through osmosis- driven mechanical infusion and become absorbed into the body at the end, eliminating the need for invasive removal surgery. In addition, he is working on transformative injectable formulations leveraging the self-assembling mechanism of drug crystals upon injection. Utilizing AI and advanced computational methods, he is expanding the applicability of the platform technologies to different areas of therapeutics by overcoming the conventional trial-and-error approach for formulation screening and analyzing preclinical data more efficiently. MATLAB plays a central role in his work, and he is sharing tools that will foster innovation in the MathWorks community. Sanghyun’s work has strong potential to offer pioneering advancements at the intersection of biomedical engineering and AI, addressing various health and clinical issues.
