About me
I am a researcher (Research Officer for National Defense) at Agency for Defense Development in Daejeon, South Korea.
My research currently focuses on quantum sensing based on atomic vapor cells—particularly on optically atomic pumped magnetometers (OPAMs) 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 enrollment planned for Fall 2027).
More details on my research projects can be found on the RESEARCH.

This paper reports a high-temperature long-term aging test of Al₂O₃-coated cubic rubidium vapor cells, demonstrating a nearly fourfold extension in stable rubidium number density and a 4.6-times slower decay compared to uncoated cells.
At APS DAMOP 2025, I presented a poster titled “Lifetime extension in rubidium vapor cells by Al2O3 coating” and co-authored a separate poster titled “Demonstration of atom spin gyroscope operating with high bandwidth over 100 Hz”, led by Dr. Sin Hyuk Yim.
I was appointed as a researcher (Research Officer for National Defense) in the Emerging Science and Technology Directorate at the Agency for Defense Development (three-year term, ending May 31, 2027), where I conduct research on atom-based quantum sensing.
The Research Officer for National Defense (ROND) program selects 20 research officers nationwide for STEM-based national defense research, through which mandatory military service is fulfilled by conducting full-time research at the Agency for Defense Development (similar in structure to Israel’s Talpiot program).
