Notice Our group will explore the interdisciplinary research area of optics, biomedicine, neuroscience, and nanophotonics. Please find more information about our group below. If you are interested in joining us, please send an email to 'mooseok [at] kaist.ac.kr'. Any motivated candidates at the level of undergarduate, PhD or postdoc will be highly welcomed. Prior experience in optics is not necessary!
We are the research group led by Prof. Mooseok Jang ([C.V.] and [Google Scholar]). We focus on the development of novel tools that combine optics, acoustics, and nanophotonics to tackle problems in biology and medicine. We are interested in the following research areas. 1) Solving the problem of light scattering in biological tissues 2) Interrogating the neuronal network of the brain using optical tools 3) Unlocking optical space using metasurface and wavefront shaping.
Deep Tissue Imaging Solving the problem of light scattering in biological tissues is a central goal in biomedical imaging. To date, the accessible depth of optical methods is limited to the superficial layer of biological tissues (approximately, 1 mm). We aim to increase the accessible depth through approaches based on wavefront manipulation and ultrasound-light interaction.
