Q. Please introduce yourself.

A. My name is Chansoo Hwang and I graduated from KAIST with a bachelor’s degree as a class 93 and master’s degree as a class of 97 under the guidance of Professor Yong Hoon Lee.

Q. Can you briefly introduce Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology?

A. Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT) is Samsung Group’s R&D hub. We are conducting research on diverse fields encompassing communication/signal processing/software to semiconductor/material/biomaterial/energy. This place acts as the key player in developing disruptive technologies for Samsung’s new business of the next 5 to 10 years. For example, we started developing technologies for 4G telecommunication back in 2000, and the business initiated 10 years later in 2010. Further, since many people of different majors come together at SAIT, it is a perfect place for convergence researches.
