Jungeun (Jenny) Won
PhD
Assistant Professor of Research
Research Topics
Optical imaging; Biomedical device and instrumentation; Medical image analysis and artificial intelligence; Optical coherence tomography
Professional Summary
The goal of my research is to develop next-generation translational optical imaging technologies that are combined with computational and analytical methods to advance disease diagnosis, monitoring, and predicting treatment response. My research lab is broadly focused on developing optical coherence tomography (OCT) and microscopy methods to study retinal and otologic diseases, non-destructive tissue/material characterization methods, and artificial intelligence on large image datasets.
