Research Description

My current research focuses on experimental quantum optics and biophotonics. In the area of quantum optics, I am interested in developing entanglement source for quantum cryptography, communication, and information processing. My current interest is to investigate entanglement properties of photon-pairs generated through nonlinear process in optical nanomaterials. In the area of biophotonics, I am interested in developing nanoscale phase-space imaging based on Wigner phase-space distributions and near-field optics for studying optical coherence propagation in multiple scattering media.
