In the third year of college, he was admitted to the hospital due to a serious traffic accident, and his dream changed to biomedical engineering as he saw electronic and electrical technologies such as Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) play an important role in medicine.

Later, he entered the doctoral program at UC Berkeley, where he studied bio / optical MEMS and lab on a chip system for biomaterial analysis.

Ever since he was appointed professor of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Seoul National University, he always wanted to give tools or devices to life scientists and medical doctors that they needed in their cutting edges, to enable innovations.

He focused on developing technologies for life scientists and medical doctors to improve personalized therapeutics to reduce the breakdown cost for disease treatment.

Kwon served in many technical program committees in prominent societies, like MicroTAS, IEEE MEMS, and Transducers.
