Biomedical Optics Laboratory
Biomedical Optics Laboratory is focused on developing novel optical methods based on interferometry, scattering and modulation of optical wave field, for the purpose of (1) imaging biological and medical samples, (2) understanding the mechanisms of diseases, and (3) diagnosing and treating the disease. Hosted by the Department of Physics and the KAIST Institute (KI), the lab is performing highly interdisciplinary research at the interface between technology development, basic biological studies and clinical applications.
 

Research Interest

• Biophotonics: interferometry-based novel imaging techniques

• Medical imaging: multiple light scattering in a turbid medium (biological tissue)

• Biophysics: pathophysiology of cells and tissue
