Theory & Application of Light 1© C.H. Choi(Bio & Brain Engineering), Y.K. Park(Physics), & H.J. Suk(Industrial Design)

• This course deals with various topics in light, color, and life, and teaches students

certain expertise in the physical properties of light, the accommodation of light in

biological phenomena and medical applications, and the dynamic ways that light

is experienced through color in everyday life. Through the convergence of diverse

knowledge, creative research topics will be explored and interdisciplinary inquires

that show most potential and professionalism will be further studied.

• To share knowledge and issues in the physical properties of light, the accommodation of light in biological phenomena and medical applications, and the dynamic ways that light is experienced through color in everyday life.

• To explore creative research topics and interdisciplinary inquires that show most potential and professionalism will be further studied.

• (mainly for the KAIST freshmen students) To help students with undeclared majors experience the different research approaches and values of assorted majors and thereby use this experience for in-depth reflection during the process of selecting one’s major.
