Research summary
AI-generated

Jung Woo Leem works at the intersection of materials science, photonics, and health technology. Much of the research develops 'unclonable' optical and electronic security devices using materials like silk, nanostructured semiconductors, and light-emitting materials, while more recent work applies smartphone-based imaging and machine learning to noninvasive health screening (e.g., detecting malaria risk or anemia from eye photographs). The overall thread connects light-matter interactions and nanostructured materials to practical applications in hardware security and low-cost medical diagnostics.

Publication output has fluctuated over the past decade with a dip around 2019 and 2024, but shows a recent sharp increase in 2025, suggesting an active and possibly growing output trajectory.
