The research project proposed by professors Song-Min Kim & Seong-Ook Park’s research group has been selected for the 2021 Samsung Future Technology Promotion Project.
This project proposes an ultra-precise monitoring system using a batteryless mmWave Backscatter Tag. By attaching a small tag of several centimeters, it provides ultra-precise location recognition and various sensing functions, and it operates without power to provide precise and eco-friendly services such as monitoring patients in a coma in hospitals.
Congratulations again to the professors Song-Min Kim & Seong-Ook Park!

Our department’s professor Jeong’s research team has developed a brain transplant device that can be charged wirelessly. The phone-controlled device can manipulate the brain’s neural circuits by using light without the need for changing the battery after being transplanted. The research was conducted along with Yonsei University Medical School’s professor JungHoon Kim’s research team.
One of the great advantages of this research is that it can be applicable for curing mental illnesses such as Parkinson’s disease and animal experiments that need long-time monitoring.
Our department’s Ph.D candidate Choongyun Kim and Yonsei University’s Ph.D candidate Minjung Koo have been enlisted as co 1st authors in the paper published in Nature Communications last January 22. (Paper title : Soft subdermal implant capable of wireless battery charging and programmable controls for applications in optogenetics)
The research team will expand the research for further miniaturization and MRI-based applications. The research was funded by Ministry of Science & ICT, Korea Research Foundation and KAIST.
We congratulate professor Jeong and Ph.D candidate Choongyun Kim for the innovative research.
M.S. student So-Yeon Kim (Advised by Hoi-Jun Yoo) won the Best Design Award at the 2020 IEEE Asian Solid-State Circuits Conference (A-SSCC) Student Design Contest.
Due to COVID-19, the conference was held online from November 9th to 11th.
A-SSCC is an international conference held annually by IEEE. M.S. student So-Yeon Kim has published a paper titled “An Energy-Efficient GAN Accelerator with On-Chip Training for Domain-Specific Optimization” and was selected as a winner for its excellence.
Research Officers for National Defense.
Details are as follows. Congratulations once again to M.S. student So-Yeon Kim and Professor Hoi-Jun Yoo!
Conference: 2020 IEEE Asian Solid-State Circuits Conference (A-SSCC)
Location: Virtual Event
Date: November 9-11, 2020
Award: Student Best Design Award
Authors: So-Yeon Kim, Sang-Hoon Kang, Dong-Hyeon Han, Sang-Yeop Kim, Sang-Jin Kim, and Hoi-Jun Yoo (Advisory Professor)
Paper Title: An Energy-Efficient GAN Accelerator with On-Chip Training for Domain-Specific Optimization
‘The Future of Engineering’ has been published, which is written by Professor Joung-Ho Kim of our faculty.
This is a new book that contains that this is the best time to move forward to become a ‘First Mover’ in the era of the 4th industrial revolution in Korea, even in the chaotic situation of the post-corona era.
The professor described a discourse on the role of Korean engineering to achieve true digital technology independence.
Against the rapidly changing environment, he expressed his position that we should take the lead in overcoming the crisis caused by COVID-19 by focusing on ‘digital engineering.’
In particular, the book explained the basic principles of artificial intelligence, big data, computers, and semiconductors that are rapidly developing in the 4th industrial revolution. The book suggests the directions of future innovative development and golden opportunities. It also explained the principle of mathematics, which is the basis of digital engineering, in a refreshingly readable manner.
In addition, this book presents the future of the 4th industrial revolution that will unfold after COVID-19, the development strategy of Korea, also including the concept of talents who will lead the future.
KAIST EE Students were selected as winners of ”Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship Korea (QIFK) 2020”.
It is noteworthy that out of a total of 23 awardees, 10 winners are from KAIST EE.
Paper submission was made in three fields: artificial intelligence, machine learning, and autonomous driving.
Congratulations again on your selection of Fellowships.
Congratulations to Professors Jun-Mo Kim, In-So Kweon, Jin-Woo Shin, and Eui-Jong Hwang who advised the students.

Our department’s professor Youngsoo Shin along with professor Jong-won Yu, Chang Dong Yoo, Jung-Yong Lee, Myoungsoo Jung, Song Min Kim, and Junil Choi have been rewarded the 2020 engineering school technology innovation award.
Each school selects and awards staff members for their contributions, and the engineering school has been awarding staff members who have greatly contributed to technology innovation and academic progress. Special awards are given to members for their development of world class technologies, significant academic achievements and industry-education cooperation.
This year’s award was given to a total of 28 members including one grand award, and 7 professors from our department have received the award.
A total of 3,100,000 KW will be given along with the award.
We congratulate the 7 professors for their achievements and contribution to KAIST.
Our department’s professor Dong Eui Chang was been awarded the Academy Innovation Prize from the 2020 KAIA.
The KAIA (Chair professor Yu) has held the 2020 award ceremony at the Seongnam-KAIST ICT center.
Our department’s professor Dong Eui Chang received the award for his contribution to autonomous drone flight technologies and mathematical interpretation of deep learning. Additionally, Ph.D candidate Xiaowei Xing from professor Chang’s lab was rewarded the fall conference poster award for programming toolbox research.
This ceremony was organized for the announcement of this year’s research achievements of domestic AI research and for the encouragement of all related researchers.
Once again, we congratulate professor Chang for his reward.
