Jang Ah Kim is an Assistant Professor at the Hamlyn Centre, Department of Mechanical Engineering at Imperial College London. His research focuses on the interaction of light and matter to develop innovative strategies in biomedical sensing and robotics, particularly at the micro and nanoscale. He specializes in designing and creating micro/nanostructures for diagnostic purposes, which include detecting infections, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. He is also involved in developing new microscopic therapeutic strategies for localized drug delivery during cellular surgery. Dr. Kim graduated from Sungkyunkwan University in South Korea with a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2011 and completed his PhD in Nano Engineering at the same university in 2017, where he developed chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-grown graphene-based fiber-optic surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors. Since then, he has worked on several projects within the Hamlyn Centre and has researched applications of two-photon polymerization (2PP) techniques for rapid disease diagnosis and minimally invasive surgeries. He is currently recruiting PhD students and has actively contributed to advancements in high-dimensional sensing technology in biosensing applications.
