To Understand Living Organisms Enough to Create

While majoring in physics during my undergraduate years, I engaged in engineering and robotic competitions. I was overconfident that I could create almost anything. However, my perspective completely changed when I realized that organisms are impossible to build. I became fascinated by their intricacies and decided to pursue a career in biophysics.

Early in my master's program, I struggled with high-speed and long-term imaging. This experience led me to develop my expertise in label-free observation. After exploring various quantitative phase microscopy (QPM) techniques, I pursued optical and theoretical backgrounds to improve the optimal method for live cell imaging, leading to my master's degree.

In my Ph.D. program, I focus on refining and applying QPM techniques and leading several projects. I also utilize my automation experience to promote laboratory automation.
