장환석
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Materials Science and Engineering at Korea University, specializing in nanophotonics and 3D nanofabrication.
I am always open to collaboration with researchers in nanophotonics, metamaterials, and advanced manufacturing.
Please feel free to reach out if you are interested.

About
My research centers on inverse design strategies for complex nanostructures and the realization of architected 3D photonic systems. By combining computational electromagnetics (FDTD, RCWA) with advanced fabrication techniques such as electron-beam lithography and atomic layer deposition (ALD), I develop physically consistent design frameworks that translate abstract optical functionalities into experimentally realizable nanostructures.
My broader goal is to establish scalable and physically interpretable design methodologies for controlling light–matter interactions in high-dimensional photonic systems.
