Professor
is an assistant professor of the School of Electrical Engineering at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). He is leading the Smart Energy-Efficient Design Laboratory.
He received his B.S. degree from Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea, in 2012 and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA, in 2017. From August 2017 to August 2019, he worked at the Microsystems Technology Laboratories in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a postdoctoral associate.
His primary research interests lie in the general area of analog and digital circuits, with an emphasis on autonomous low-power systems such as remote sensor devices and other Internet of Things (IoT) applications. His dissertation research in the University of Michigan focused on low-power analog circuit techniques for realizing a small, low-power systems such as on-chip energy harvesting, power management, sensing, and data conversion. In MIT, he extended his research area to digital circuits including energy-efficient inference accelerators and secure IoT systems.
Now at KAIST, he is trying to improve and combine these basic building blocks to build smaller, more powerful and efficient, and more reliable systems.
