Nov 12, 2026	SPIE News features Jimin Cho’s study on lipid storage in liver organoids SPIE News featured a Biophotonics Discovery study by BMOL graduate student Jimin Cho and co-authors. The team used label-free holotomography to image the same living mouse liver organoids in 3D every six hours. The images revealed two distinct patterns of lipid accumulation: oleic acid primarily enlarged lipid droplets, while linoleic acid primarily increased their number. Congratulations to Jimin and all co-authors! Read the SPIE News feature · Read the paper
Oct 25, 2026	Our review, “Imaging biofilms in three dimensions: modalities, quantitative readouts, and the path to four-dimensional measurement,” by Seongsoo Lee and YongKeun Park, has been accepted for publication in Critical Reviews in Microbiology.
Oct 22, 2026	Our paper, “Design Principles for Light-Scattering Reservoir Computing at the Edge of Chaos,” by Geon Kim and YongKeun Park, is now published open access in Advanced Computing, 1(1), e70012. The study maps three physical design axes of a reconfigurable light-scattering reservoir and identifies a memory-capacity peak at the edge of chaos. Congratulations, Geon! Read the paper
