I’m currently a Ph.D. student in Electrical Engineering at Yonsei University advised by Prof. Seung Ah Lee with my research centered on computational optics and imaging. During my Ph.D. studies, I had the opportunity to be mentored by Prof. Roarke Horstmeyer in the Biomedical Engineering department at Duke University. I’ve been honored to receive the Silver Prize at the 28th Samsung Humantech Paper Awards and Graduate Research Fellowships from the NRF and MOHW.

My research interests are broadly in computational optics and imaging, with a particular focus on the co-design of optical hardware and image processing algorithms aiming to create advanced imaging systems for real-world applications. I have extensive experience in mask-based lensless imaging, Fourier ptychography, and in-vivo imaging using speckle dynamics. I enjoy chats and collaborative works with individuals who share a passion for their work :)
