Professor

Jin-Hoon Kim is an assistant professor at KAIST BCS. His research interests are the development of nanomaterials-based artificial neurons and synapses, and neuromorphic systems inspired by neuronal connections in the brain.
He received a Ph.D. degree from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Yonsei University (advisor: Dr. Jin-Woo Park), and he mainly focused on the development of soft/stretchable transparent conductors and their application to stretchable organic light-emitting diodes and wearable sensors for body motion and electrophysiology monitoring.
After his Ph.D., he moved to the Media Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and developed wireless control systems for wearable sensor platforms and nanomaterials-based neuromorphic networks and synapses with Dr. Canan Dagdeviren.
In his Hardware Artificial Intelligence Lab (HAL), he aims to develop artificial neurons and synapses by synthesizing functional nanomaterials (nanowire, nanoparticle, and nanosheet). Based on them, he will develop fabrication processes to emulate neuronal connections in the brain.
Such neuromorphic devices can contribute to low-power AI hardware, ultra-low power on-device computing on wearable and implantable devices, and processing complex spatiotemporal signals such as brain signals.
