- Sungkyunkwan University's Bionanophotonics Laboratory is recruiting undergraduate research participants/master's/integrated master's/doctoral students/doctoral students, postdoctoral researchers/research professors who are full of dreams and passion. (Homepage: www.bionanophotonics-skku.com)

- In this lab, we explore the interaction between nanostructures and light, and utilize this to develop useful optical devices and systems. For example, we develop multifunctional/ultra-small planar optical devices by implementing artificially designed metamaterials with unique optical properties that do not exist in nature, and biosensors/disease diagnostic chips/bioimaging technologies based on quantum biophysics. Therefore, we welcome students majoring in natural sciences such as physics/chemistry/life sciences, as well as engineering fields such as electronics/mechanics/new materials/chemistry/biomedical engineering.

- Specifically, our laboratory conducts research to solve difficult problems in the fields of basic science and applied engineering, as follows:

1) Electromagnetics/solid state physics/optics/quantum mechanics/artificial intelligence-based metamaterial and metasurface design technology
2) Ultra-precision nanofabrication/production technology for manufacturing metaphotonics and quantum/nano devices.
3) Metasurface-based ultra-thin multifunctional lens, camera, and lidar system
4) Realistic, ultra-small holographic AR/VR display and anti-counterfeiting technology
5) Nano-biochip for ultra-high sensitivity molecular sensing/imaging and electron tunneling/energy resonance transfer phenomenon observation
6) Quantum mechanics-based medical devices for early disease diagnosis and ultra-fast molecular diagnosis
7) Metaphotonics-based bioimaging technology for healthcare monitoring and bio-optical imaging
8) Optical spectroscopy techniques for single molecule/single protein sensing and observation of molecule-resonator strong interactions
