Biography

  Prof. Yoonchan Jeong received his PhD in 1999 from the School of Electrical Engineering, Seoul National University, Korea, for research in the area of fiber and nonlinear optics. He then held a two-year postdoctoral fellowship at the same university. He joined the Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) at the University of Southampton in 2001 as a Research Fellow and became a Reader (Senior Faculty Position) in 2006. He returned to the School of Electrical Engineering, Seoul National University as a faculty member in 2010, where he is now a full professor.

  His research interests cover a wide range of laser and photonics areas, including fiber/waveguide/quantum/nonlinear optics, holography, 3-dimensional displays, and meta-surfaces. His work has resulted in over 300 publications, including patents, book contributions, and journal/conference papers.

  He has served on various programme committees for international photonics conferences, including the Optical Amplifiers and Their Applications Conference (Optica, 2005-2006), Fiber Lasers VI: Technology, Systems and Applications (Laser Source Engineering, Photonics West, SPIE, 2008-2013), and the Advanced Solid-State Photonics (Optica, 2011-2016). He has also served as Associate Editor for Optics Express (Optica, 2009-2016) and Editor-in-Chief for Current Optics and Photonics (OSK, 2019-2022). He currently chairs the Laser Based Sensors Subcommittee of Optical Sensors (Optica, since 2015), and is a member of the steering committee for the AFL conference (since 2022) and the program committee of the ALPS conference (since 2022). He is a recipient of the Sinyang Engineering Awards in 2018 and a Fellow of Optica (formerly OSA).
