Faculty & Staff Hong Koo KimProfessor, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
EducationPhD, Carnegie Mellon University, 1989 Professional Interests Professor Kim’s research has been centered on developing new photonic and electronic devices at micro and nanoscales using various functional materials such as rare-earth doped oxides, wide bandgap semiconductors, and ferroelectric materials. His research in nanotechnology area investigates a directed self-assembly process as an enabling technology for vertical integration at all length scales (from nano to wafer scale). Single-domain, ordered nanochannel arrays with controlled symmetry have been developed on macroscale area of wafer surface using a directed self-organization method, and have been investigated as an interaction medium in the optical, electrical, chemical, and biological domains. Surface-plasmon phenomena occurring in the nano-optic structures are of particular interest, since many novel properties can be derived from these and can be incorporated into an on-chip configuration for interaction with other functional materials. Prof. Kim’s group investigates plasmonics as an enabling technology for implementing nanosystems-on-a-chip that offer multifunctionality across the heterogeneous domains. Prof. Kim received his BS degree in electronic engineering from Seoul National University, MS degree from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, and Ph.D. degree (1989) from Carnegie Mellon University in electrical and computer engineering.
