Award-winning achievements
Professor Minhaeng Cho has received global attention in ultrafast spectroscopy, coherent multidimensional spectroscopy, and molecular imaging for his theories and experimental studies on the interactions between light and matter. He has achieved excellent research accomplishments in molecular science, which identifies the biomolecular structures and dynamics.
His work on multidimensional spectroscopy, quantum spectroscopy using quantum entanglement, molecular imaging using photothermal phenomena, and interferometric scattering has already reached a world-class level, leading to more subsequent studies.
More recently, at the Center for Molecular Spectroscopy and Dynamics under the Institute for Basic Science, he developed a new experimental tool that enables the observation of tiny molecules in real time and methods to visible and infrared lights to demonstrate the possibility of imaging specific chemical substances in cells and also succeeded in developing interferometric-scattering microscopy to capture the independent movement of one nanometer-sized protein molecule.
