I am a computational optical imaging engineer and a recent PhD from MIT EECS. At MIT, I was advised by George Barbastathis in 3D Optical Systems Group and worked on (1) robust phase retrieval under low-photon conditions using machine learning and random phase modulation, (2) wavefront aberration estimation for high-contrast imaging of exoplanets, and (3) non-invasive three-dimensional reconstruction of integrated circuits from X-ray ptycho-tomography and ptycho-laminography for rapid semiconductor manufacturing inspection process. I was a recipient of Korea Foundation for Advanced Studies scholarship throughout my doctoral study. Email / CV / Google Scholar / Github |

Kaufman Teaching Certificate Program (KTCP), Teaching & Learning Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2021)
I completed seven workshops to develop teaching skills as part of the teaching certificate program. A major part of the program involved introducing students to relevant research in teaching and learning and laying out future teaching models. I also presented two microteaching sessions that were videotaped, where I received feedback on my performance regarding my teaching and provided feedback to other participants. |

Teaching Assistant (2.16/2.168 Learning Machines), Department of Mechanical Engieering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2020)
I mentored course research projects, contributed to curriculum design, conducted after-hour office hours, and graded assignments. Class taught totaled around 40 students and comprised course research projects on the connection between machine learning and physical systems. |

End-term Project Mentor, Department of Mechanical Engieering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2021)
I mentored a graduate student group in 2.C01/2.C51 Physical Systems Modeling and Design Using Machine Learning course for their end-term project on the image segmentation of noisy ultrasonic images. |
|
End-term Project Mentor, Department of Mechanical Engieering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2020)
I mentored two graduate student groups in 2.16/2.168 Learning Machines course for their end-term projects on the reaction modeling to facilitate pharmaceutical process development using machine learning & the control of autonomous ocean vehicles using reinforcement learning. |
