Color Science | Color Engineering | Affective Engineering

The color science is a scientific discipline that deals with “color” we perceive. My main research interests are quantifying the visual perception such as color, texture and gloss, figuring out how those perceptions influence the human emotion (KamSung in Korean), and then applying those knowledge on the various product developments such as display image quality enhancement and affective lighting development.
