Research Interests
1. Novel bioimaging system: Photoacoustic imaging / ultrasound imaging / optical imaging
We develop bioimaging systems based on basic scientific knowledge and applied engineering of optics and acoustics. These systems enable high-resolution and deep tissue imaging from cells to in vivo. Actively learn and apply hardware and software programming to lead system configuration and image processing.
2. Acoustic (ultrasound) theranostic platform
Our lab uses ultrasound to control and observe living systems — enhancing exosome release from organoids for biomarker discovery, modulating cell behavior through sonogenetics, and visualizing flow and tissue dynamics in real time. By merging physics, engineering, and biomedicine, we develop next-generation tools for precision medicine and bioengineering.
3. Artificial intelligence (AI)-powered digital healthcare: Medical imaging-based diagnostic / medical image quality enhancement
Our lab is advancing AI-powered medical imaging to transform how diseases are detected and understood. We develop deep learning technologies such as virtual histology, automated tissue analysis, and intelligent classification to enable faster, label-free, and scalable diagnosis. By integrating AI with next-generation imaging platforms, we aim to build smart systems that can analyze complex biological data, support precision medicine, and open new possibilities across diagnostics, pathology, and biomedical research.
