From Failure to Innovation
I turn critical challenges into momentum—using deep technical insight and creative strategies to help businesses pivot, recover, and thrive.
Industry & Manufacturing Vision
I transform deep scientific insight into real-world technology—bridging research, development, and scalable manufacturing. My work spans the full innovation arc: from discovery to deployment.
With expertise in electronics, optomechanics, and device engineering, I build solutions core to automation, autonomous systems, finance, healthcare, and Big Tech. I focus on delivering high-performance, manufacturable technologies—from advanced optical components to integrated light-driven systems—designed for scale, speed, and global impact.
My goal is simple but ambitious: turn breakthrough science into transformative products.
Research Foundation
My research explored emergent light-matter interactions using advanced spectroscopy—revealing new physical principles with disruptive potential across sensing, communication, energy, and biomedicine.
This work opened rare insights into the interface of quantum mechanics and biology, helping lay the foundation for a new class of photonic-biological systems.
More than just discovery, it offered a vision: to make real what once seemed impossible. By uncovering unconventional pathways, I enabled technologies previously thought to be beyond reach.
Our latest result made it to the journal cover in Nature.
Congrats to Changhwan Lee, Emma Z. Xu, and the members of the team!
