Do Young Kim (b. Seoul, South Korea) holds a Summa Cum Laude B.S. degree in Information Display from Kyung Hee University in South Korea.
Currently, Kim is pursuing an M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering with a specialization in Optics & Photonics at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
His research
interests are centered around optical microscopy and spectroscopy in cellular
studies.
In the course of his academic journey, he actively engaged in the 'PINE' project, a pioneering initiative focusing on precision imaging methodologies employing gold nanorods to mitigate photobleaching. This groundbreaking approach, published in Nature Communications (July 2023), allows for the acquisition of
high-resolution images of live cells at around 10nm resolution, providing
insights into live-cell dynamics beyond the diffraction limit by long-term
imaging. Additionally, he successfully integrated interferometric scattering
(iSCAT) imaging with 'PINE' in his latest paper, combining the super-sensitive
capabilities of iSCAT imaging with the super-resolution techniques offered by
'PINE.'
Furthermore,
Kim also worked on the development of an optical tweezer for in-vivo
applications. His overarching goal is to delve into the novel microscopy and
spectroscopy techniques for studying live cells and to contribute to the
development of innovative approaches in this field.
