Senior Research Engineer, Imaging Intelligence Laboratory @ Seoul National University
Computational imaging / Forward models / Optical metrology
I develop computational imaging methods around physics-aware forward models: connecting wave-optics simulation, optical system design, and data-driven reconstruction for problems where hardware encoding and computational inference must be designed together.
Current Research
Forward-model-driven Computational Microscopy
Extending Fourier ptychography and reflection-mode computational microscopy beyond scalar approximations toward high-NA, polarization-aware, and metrology-oriented imaging.
Vector Diffraction and Wave-Matter Interaction
Modeling polarization mixing, angle-dependent reflection, and local wave-matter interaction for optical systems where simplified propagation models become limiting.
Differentiable Optics-Mechanics Simulation
Building simulation frameworks that couple geometry deformation, wave propagation, and optical encoding for deformable, phase-coded, and adaptive computational imaging systems.
