Byeong-Gon Park's research focuses on gravitational microlensing, a technique that detects distant exoplanets and other objects by observing how their gravity bends and magnifies light from background stars. This work is closely tied to large-scale survey projects like KMTNet and MOA, which monitor millions of stars to find planets, brown dwarfs, and free-floating planets, alongside related work in high-resolution infrared spectroscopy and galaxy studies. Prospective students would engage with observational data analysis, light-curve modeling, and instrument-related projects rather than purely theoretical astrophysics.
