BioNanoPhotonics Lab @SKKU
Embedded Files
Welcome!
The BioNanoPhotonics Laboratory (PI: Prof. Inki Kim) in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Department of Biophysics at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) explores theoretical, computational and experimental research focusing on nanophotonics and biophotonics. We envision that such an artificial nanophotonic platform will serve as a cornerstone for tackling highly visible and challenging problems in the fields of basic science and applied engineering. Particularly, we are interested in plasmonics, metamaterials, nanofabrications, biophotonics, quantum biophysics, and integrated quantum medical devices.
We are actively looking for highly motivated undergraduate, graduate students, postdoctoral research fellows and research professors. Please check Opening information.
성균관대학교 바이오메디컬공학과 및 생명물리학과 바이오나노포토닉스 연구실(지도교수: 김인기 교수)에서는 나노 구조체와 빛과의 상호작용을 탐구하며, 이를 활용해 유용한 광학 소자 및 시스템을 개발합니다. 대표적인 예로, 자연계에 존재하지 않는 특이한 광학적 성질을 갖는, 인공적으로 설계된 광학 메타물질을 구현해 다기능/초소형 평면광학 이미징 및 디스플레이 소자 개발(메타포토닉스) 및 초고민감도 센싱/진단을 위한 바이오칩 및 고해상도/초고속 다기능 생체영상 기술(바이오포토닉스) 등을 개발하는 다학제적 연구를 수행합니다.
현재 저희 연구실에서는 학부연구참여/석사과정/석박사통합과정/박사과정 학생 및 박사후연구원/연구교수를 모집 중에 있습니다. 자세한 사항은 Opening 탭을 참고해주시기 바랍니다.
