Short Biography
Professor Yoon received his BS in Physics (1990) from
SungKyunKwan University, South Korea and his MS (1995) and PhD (1998) in the field of Laser Optics both from Osaka University, Japan.

Research Areas
Prof. Yoon studied laser optics for a high-power laser system for fusion while in Japan, where he also worked on the shaping of optical surfaces with an excimer laser. Since then, he has accumulated three and half years of research experience in visual optics at the University of Rochester. His main interest at the University has been to evaluate the potential visual benefit of correcting higher order aberrations in the eye with adaptive optics. The results of this work are directly relevant to customized refractive surgery, contact lenses, and intraocular lenses.
