Kyoungmo Koo

Welcome! I’m Kyoungmo Koo, a Master’s student at the University of Michigan specializing in Electrical and Computer Engineering. My academic focus spans optics, medical robotics, embedded systems, and control systems. I began my journey at Seoul National University, where I earned my undergraduate degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Currently, I am a lab intern at the Image-Guided Medical Robotics Lab, under the guidance of Professor Mark Draelos. My work here involves two exciting projects. The first is developing a digital interface for controlling galvanometers to enhance the performance of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) systems, particularly in improving cost-efficiency and resolution. The second project focuses on creating a medical robotic system that uses ultrasound and photoacoustic techniques to scan hands for arthritis detection.

This past summer, I completed an internship as an Electrical Engineering Intern with the eHardware Architecture team at BorgWarner, gaining valuable industry experience. Prior to that, I explored the realm of superconductivity as an intern at the Applied Superconductivity Lab, led by Professor Seungyong Hahn. I firmly believe that innovations in optics, robotics, and embedded systems will play a key role in shaping a more brighter future for all communities.
