Research

research overview

  • Dr. Park's research is centered at discovering new optical phenomena and applications using nanoscale materials and structures and has currently three major thrusts: nonlinear optical devices, biosensing/therapeutics and magnetic field sensor. For nonlinear optical devices, Dr. Park is developing devices based on chalcogenide glass for operations in the infrared region for sensing, communications, and switching. For biosensing and therapeutics, Dr. Park is developing nanomaterials that efficiently upconvert frequencies and thereby enable new imaging, sensing and/or therapeutic approaches. For magnetic field sensing, Dr. Park is developing magneto-optical nanomaterials that can rotate light polarization under a magnetic field with potential application in magnetic imaging.

    Introduces essential concepts and tools of quantum mechanics to engineering graduate students who may not have undergraduate level quantum mechanics background. Topics to be discussed include the concepts of quantum states, operators and measurements, one-dimensional potential problems, time evolution of quantum systems and ensembles of identical particles. Recommended restriction: Knowledge of undergraduate-level differential equations and linear algebra.
  • ECEA 5611 - Theory of Angular Momentum
    Primary Instructor - Spring 2022 / Summer 2022 / Fall 2022 / Summer 2023 / Fall 2023 / Spring 2024 / Summer 2024 / Fall 2024
    Introduces the quantum mechanical concept of angular momentum operator and its relationship with rotation operator. It then covers the properties of the angular momentum operators and their eigenvalues and eigenfunctions. Finally, it offers an in-depth discussion on the theory of angular momentum addition. Recommended restriction: Knowledge of undergraduate-level differential equations and linear algebra.
  • ECEA 5612 - Approximation Methods
    Primary Instructor - Spring 2022 / Summer 2022 / Fall 2022 / Spring 2023 / Summer 2023 / Fall 2023 / Spring 2024 / Summer 2024 / Fall 2024
    Introduces commonly used approximation methods in quantum mechanics. They include time-independent perturbation theory, time-dependent perturbation theory, tight binding method, variational method and the use of finite basis set. In each case, a specific example is given to clearly show how the method works. Recommended restriction: Knowledge of undergraduate-level differential equations and linear algebra.
