Biomedical Optics & Optical Coherence Tomography
I develop ultrahigh-speed optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems for wide-field retinal vascular imaging. My research bridges advanced laser engineering and biomedical optics to enable non-invasive, high-resolution imaging of the human retina.
I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at KRISS (Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science), Nanobio Measurement Group. My work focuses on developing high-performance OCT and OCT angiography (OCTA) systems for wide-field retinal microvasculature imaging. I completed my B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. at KAIST, where I built ultrahigh-speed swept-source OCT platforms using stretched-pulse mode-locked lasers. My goal is to translate cutting-edge photonics into clinical tools for diagnosing and monitoring retinal vascular diseases.
