About

Gyeongtae Kim is an innovative researcher at the forefront of metasurface optics and computational imaging, with a particular focus on structured light systems and depth-sensing technologies. His work centers on harnessing the extraordinary light-manipulation capabilities of metasurfaces — ultrathin, nanostructured optical elements — to revolutionize three-dimensional imaging and spatial computing. Kim's most impactful contribution, "Metasurface-driven full-space structured light for three-dimensional imaging" (2022), has garnered an impressive 233 citations, demonstrating how metasurfaces can overcome the field-of-view limitations of conventional diffractive optical elements in depth-sensing applications. Building on this foundation, his 2024 work on "360° structured light with learned metasurfaces" — already accumulating 99 citations — pushed boundaries further by integrating machine learning with metasurface design to achieve panoramic structured light illumination. His most recent research explores binocular metalenses for spatial computing and augmented reality, addressing the critical challenge of miniaturizing depth-sensing hardware for next-generation wearable devices. Collectively, Kim's research charts a compelling trajectory from fundamental metasurface optics toward practical, compact imaging systems — making him a significant voice in the emerging intersection of nanophotonics, computer vision, and augmented reality.
