Sun‐Ju Chung

Sun-Ju Chung's research focuses on gravitational microlensing, a technique that detects distant planets, brown dwarfs, and binary star systems by measuring how their gravity bends and magnifies light from background stars. Much of this work uses data from large-scale surveys such as the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet), OGLE, and UKIRT to identify and characterize exoplanets, free-floating planets, and binary systems. This research contributes catalogs of light curves and lens system parameters that support broader studies of planet demographics in the Milky Way.

Publication output has grown substantially over the last decade, rising from about 10 per year in 2017 to a sustained pace of roughly 24-37 per year since 2021.
