Professor

Dr. Shinhyun Choi is Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). His research focuses on (1) new emerging memory/computing device development using resistive switching elements; (2) its application in integrated systems such as edge computing, neuromorphic computing and memory functions; and (3) new operating mechanism development for conventional 3-terminal transistor-based memory device. He graduated Summa Cum Laude from Seoul National University, Korea in 2009 with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. He obtained his Master’s and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 2011 and 2015, respectively. He was a Postdoctoral Associate at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) from 2015 to 2018.

He investigated the fundamental understanding and neuromorphic applications of resistive switching devices. He is the author/co-author of peer-reviewed articles including Nature, Nature Electronics, Nature Materials, Nature Communications, Science Advances, Nano Letters, ACS Nano. His works have been selected as front covers in Nature, highlighted in Nature News & Views, Nature Materials News & Views, Nature Nanotechnology Research Highlights, and featured as cover pages on MIT news. Recently, his work has been selected as a breakthrough research at KAIST College of Engineering in 2022. His works have also been covered on numerous media outlets including EE times, IEEE Spectrum, EE NEWs, the Verge and domestic press. He was a recipient of Hae-Dong Young Engineer Award in 2020. In 2024, he was appointed as a KAIST Endowed Chair Professor and received the KAIST Q-day Faculty Excellence Award in the research category. Additionally, his research was recognized as one of the 14th KAIST Leading-edge Technology Achievements.
