Research
OSpace (Optical Wireless and Future Space Technologies): The growing demand for high-speed data transmission and increasing congestion in the conventional wireless spectrum are driving strong research interest in optical wireless communications. Our work focuses on free-space optics (FSO) that enables high-speed, secure data transmission over long distances and supports quantum communications. Despite their potential, FSO systems face several challenges, including atmospheric effects, link blockage, and the need for precise beam alignment. To address these issues, we are developing intelligent techniques to enhance system reliability. Beyond FSO, we are also exploring innovative space technologies, such as AI-enabled Earth observation, satellite constellations, and space-based quantum networks.
