[Research Interest]

The research of my group is focused on the theory of high temperature superconductivity. A major topic is the pairing mechanism of the high Tc superconductivity. We have been working to determine the experimental constraints from high resolution ARPES data that any viable theory of high Tc superconductivity must satisfy. This will differentiate among many proposed ideas to settle the problem down. Other topics of my group are variations on the theme of high Tc superconductivity pairing interaction

[Research Interest]

Growth of superconducting thin films by a PLD (pulsed laser deposition) and a HPCVD (hybrid physical-chemical vapor deposition) techniques and study of physical properties for superconductors such as cuprates superconductors, Fe-based superconductors, and MgB2 superconductors. By using PPMS (physical property measurement system) and MPMS ( magnetic property measurement system), we investigate vortex dynamics in the mixed states in the wide temperature ranges of 2-300 K and the magnetic field ranges up to 9 Tesla.

[Research Interest]

We use Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometers and a monochromatic type optical spectrometer to cover a broad spectral range from far infrared (FIR) through ultraviolet (UV). We investigate low-lying (or intraband) optical excitations, characteristic collective modes including pure and hybrid phonon modes, and electronic (interband) transitions of various novel quantum material systems. The quantum material systems would be Unconventional superconductors: High-temperature superconductors (copper oxides and Fe-pnictides) and heavy fermion systems Strongly Correlated electron systems: bulk d- or f- electron systems and 3d transition metal oxide superlattice systems Low-dimensional system: graphene, graphite, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD), copper thin films etc. Photovoltaic materials: organic solar cells. We also would like to contribute other research areas of science such as astrophysics by sharing my spectroscopy technique and knowledge through close collaborations.

[Research Interest]

My main research focus is on indirect searches for dark matter, neutrino property measurements, and particle geophysics. I am an experimentalist and member of the IceCube Neutrino Telescope Collaboration, where I lead searches for physics beyond the standard model. My group is developing a novel camera based calibration system and new sensor modules for next generation neutrino detectors.

[Research Interest]

I am primarily interested in the study of astrophysically-important nuclei and nuclear reactions using radioactive heavy ion beams. More specifically, significant fraction of my research has focused on the measurement of charged-particle induced reactions relevant to nucleosynthesis in explosive stars such as novae, X-ray bursts, and supernovae. Most of my research have been carried out at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA. Significant amount of effort is also made to develop target and detector systems for the RAON, the future facility currently underbuilt in Korea.
