Professor
is an associate professor in the School of Electrical Engineering at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). He leads the Smart Energy-Efficient Design Laboratory.
He received his B.S. degree from Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea, in 2012, and his 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 at 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 at the University of Michigan focused on low-power analog circuit techniques for realizing small, low-power systems, including on-chip energy harvesting, power management, sensing, and data conversion. At MIT, he expanded his research to digital circuits, including energy-efficient inference accelerators and secure IoT systems.
Now at KAIST, he aims to improve and integrate these fundamental building blocks to create smaller, more powerful, efficient, and more reliable systems.
