[Press Release] Professor Kyunghan Lee awarded the 2024 Sinyang Outstanding Researcher Award
Seoul National University College of Engineering held an award ceremony on the 16th at Engineering Building 38 to honor six professors selected as recipients of the 2024 Sinyang Outstanding Researcher Award. The Sinyang Outstanding Researcher Award was established to encourage educational and research activities among faculty at the College of Engineering. It was funded by the late Seok-Gyu Jung, an alumnus and founder of Taesung Rubber Co., and the former Chairman of the Sinyang Cultural Foundation, through a donation to the Sinyang Cultural Foundation. This award is granted to professors under the age of 49 who have recently been promoted to associate or full professor within the last two years and have achieved excellence in education and research. First held in 2005, this year marks the 20th anniversary of the awards. The 2024 recipients include Professors Yongrae Park (Department of Mechanical Engineering), Jungyun Seon (Department of Materials Science and Engineering), and Kyunghan Lee (Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering) in the academic category, along with Professors Yongjoo Choi (Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering), Seongjoo Lee (Department of Industrial Engineering), and Takuji Oda (Department of Nuclear Engineering) in the educational category. Professor Kyunghan Lee of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering published various world-class research works under the vison of integrating mobile communication systems with computing systems to enable mobile and wearable devices achieving near-infinite computational capacity. In 2021, he became the first researcher from an Asian university to win the Best Paper Award as the lead author at the ACM MobiSys, the most prestigious international conference in mobile computing. This year, he won the Best Paper Award from the Journal of Communications and Networks (JCN), a prominent SCI journal in telecommunications, highlighting his international impact. In particular, Professor Lee is credited with advancing Korea’s global leadership in next-generation mobile communication systems through successfully incorporating his own connected computing architecture into the design of 6G mobile communication systems. “I am deeply grateful to the NXC Lab members for their trust in our shared goal of advancing human augmentation through the fusion of network and computing technologies,” Professor Lee remarked. “I also extend my heartfelt thanks to my fellow professors for silently making world-class research and to the dean’s office for their efforts in elevating the prestige of Seoul National University’s College of Engineering.” Source: https://ece.snu.ac.kr/ece/news?md=v&bbsidx=55942 Translated by: Dohyung Kim, English Editor of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, kimdohyung@snu.ac.kr...

Since its establishment in 1954, the ISSCC, held annually in February in San Francisco, has maintained its status as the largest and most prestigious global conference in the field of integrated circuit design, and is often called the “Olympics of semiconductor design.” Each year, over 4,000 semiconductor design researchers from leading industries, universities, and research institutions worldwide attend the conference, presenting their latest advancements and discussing the future of the semiconductor industry. The three accepted papers from Professor Choi’s team present groundbreaking solutions to technical challenges in next-generation HBM interfaces and in ultra-high-speed wired and wireless communications through innovative circuit design concepts. The details are as follows: Accepted Paper 1. [Memory] A new clock distribution circuit design technology for next-generation HBM that drastically reduces power consumption of clock distribution to below one-tenth of previous levels while enhancing signal integrity. Accepted Paper 2. [Digital Circuits] A novel low-voltage regulator design technology that stabilizes supply voltage at unprecedented speeds to mitigate degradation due to clock jitter caused by sudden supply voltage changes in next-generation HBM. Accepted Paper 3. [RF] An ultra-low-noise fractional frequency synthesizer designed for high-speed wired and wireless communication, which effectively addresses PLL performance degradation issues caused by quantization noise in digital PLLs.

[Press Release] Professor Jaehyouk Choi elected as the International Technical Program Committee Far East Regional Chair of the International Solid-State Circuits Conference
[Reporter Minku Kang, EDAILY] Professor Jaehyouk Choi was elected as the International Technical Program Committee Far East Regional Chair of the International Solid-State Circuits Conference. The International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC), held annually in February in San Francisco, USA, will be held for the 72nd time since its establishment in 1954. Recognized as the world’s largest and most prestigious conference in the field of integrated circuit design, it is often referred to as the "Olympics of semiconductor design." Each year, over 4,000 semiconductor design researchers from global companies, universities, and research institutes participate to present the latest technologies and discuss the future of the semiconductor industry. The Technical Program Committee, which is responsible for paper review, selection, and program organization, currently consists of 190 of the world’s top experts in semiconductor design. Technical Program Committee members are assigned to one of three regional committees—North America, Europe, or the Far East—based on their affiliations. Presently, the Far East Technical Program Committee comprises of 75 members from South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, China, Singapore, India and more. Professor Jaehyouk Choi has been a member of the Technical Program Sub-Committee since 2017 and has been serving as part of the Asian delegation since 2022. Professor Choi will assume the role of “2025 ISSCC ITPC Far East Regional Chair” at the upcoming conference in February, set to take place in San Francisco. He will represent Asia on the Executive Committee, participate in the selection of new Technical Program Committee members, make decisions on conference matters, and oversee regional events.
