Dr. Yoon leads the Conservation Physiology and Aquaculture Lab at the University of New England. He studies how environmental conditions and past environmental experiences shape physiology, energy use, stress resilience, and performance in aquatic animals. His group works with fishes and invertebrates to connect fundamental comparative physiology with questions in aquaculture, conservation, fisheries, and aquatic animal health. Outside the lab, he enjoys spending time with his family, reading philosophy, and taking long walks.
