About
Eungkyu Lee is a leading researcher in nanophotonics and optical manipulation, whose work has fundamentally advanced the control of nanoparticles using light. His key research areas include optical forces, plasmonics, and nanofluidics, where he has made groundbreaking contributions to the directed high-speed motion of nanoscale objects. Lee’s most notable achievement is the demonstration of ballistic supercavitating nanoparticles driven by single Gaussian beam optical pushing and pulling forces, a work that has garnered 49 citations. In this seminal study, he reported plasmonic gold nanoparticle swimmers achieving unprecedented speeds of approximately 336,000 μm s⁻¹, enabled by a novel optical trapping and propulsion mechanism. This breakthrough has profound implications for applications in molecular machinery, nanorobotics, and material assembly, offering a pathway to precisely control nanoscale objects in fluid environments. Lee’s innovative approach to harnessing optical forces for ballistic motion represents a significant leap forward in the field, establishing him as a key figure in the development of next-generation nanoscale technologies. His work continues to inspire new directions in optical manipulation and nanoparticle engineering.
