A dedicated group of researchers working on next-generation integrated circuits and intelligent microsystems.
Prof. Kim received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from UC Berkeley (2014),
where his dissertation focused on an energy-efficient triple-channel UWB-based cognitive radio (Advisor: Prof. Jan M. Rabaey).
He earned his M.S. in Electrical Engineering from Seoul National University (1999) and his B.S. in Electronic Engineering
from Korea University (1997).
Prior to joining CBNU, he held engineering positions at the
Agency for Defense Development (2019–2021, miniaturized radar sensors),
Samsung Electronics (2016–2019, low-power frequency synthesizer, clock distribution, and NB-IoT systems),
Qualcomm Technology Inc. (2014–2016, TX signal path and frequency synthesizer design for cellular transceivers,
SoC floor planning for embedded digital/analog/RF), and
Samsung Electronics (1999–2007, high-speed link design for SRAM/DRAM and high-density 3-D memory architecture).
His research interests span analog/mixed-signal IC design, RF circuits, neuromorphic computing hardware, and CMOS biosensor systems.
