OUR TEAM
Emily Brieske Germany
"My research bridges science and the humanities—ranging from physics, earthquake-resistant engineering, and economic policy to neuroscience, ethics, and literature. I explore topics such as nanostructure and solid-state physics, determining physical constants experimentally/theoretically, decision-making in the brain, tariffs, government intervention in recessions and indirect taxes, game theory, the ethics of CRISPR, and the portrayal of mortality in Russian and English works. I am passionate about economics, physics, neuroscience, politics, and philosophy. My aim is to inspire young people worldwide to engage with science and social science.
Please feel free to reach out to me!

CELINE KIM South Korea
"Scuba diving, journaling, and playing the piano are just a couple of things I love doing in my spare time. I have a strong passion for neuroscience and medicine in general, so feel free to reach out if you are interested in them as well. I'm beyond excited to be working as the science editor of YGS Journal, and I am looking forward to reading amazing work from all of you young scholars!"

"In my free time, I love to draw, listen to music, play acoustic and bass guitar, bake, and cook! I am pursuing a career in medicine, and in the YGS Journal, I hope to integrate neuroscience, psychology, and anthropology, utilizing such studies to reflect and illustrate the human condition. As an editor of this journal, I strive to reach and affect a vast array of people groups, developing articles that pertain to the well-being and development of communities worldwide."

"I love biochemistry, especially the mechanisms of actions of various drugs and medicines. In my free time, I enjoy playing jazz on my electric bass and playing tennis with students on my school team. At YGS, I hope to provide students with experience in research publications to inspire and prepare them for careers in science."
