About me

I am a Researcher at Agency for Defense Development in Daejeon, South Korea.
My research currently focuses on quantum sensing based on atomic vapor cells—particularly on optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs) and NMR gyroscopes—using atomic spectroscopy as a principal experimental method. I also conduct research on atomic–light interactions as a fundamental topic in AMO physics.
My broader research interests include quantum simulation, quantum computing, and quantum sensing using ultracold quantum gases. I am also interested in neutral-atom platforms more broadly, especially in their applications to quantum many-body physics and quantum technologies. I hope to explore these directions further in future graduate studies (Ph.D applications planned for Fall 2027).
