Sujin Shin is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Laboratory of Environmental Virology (LEV), EPFL. She is working on the SNSF-funded AirTRAC project, which investigates the effects of air composition on the respiratory virus transmission chain. She recently received her PhD from the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST). Her research focuses on DNA degradation and disinfection processes in water treatment.
