Sang-Gug Lee

Biography

Sang-Gug Lee was born in Gyungnam, Korea in 1958. He received a B.S. degree in electronic engineering from Gyungbook National University, Daegu, Korea, in 1981, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, USA, in 1989 and 1992, respectively. In 1992, he joined Harris Semiconductor, Melbourne, Florida, USA, where he was engaged in silicon-based RF IC designs. From 1995 to 1998, he was with Handong Global University, Pohang, Korea, as an assistant professor in the school of computer and electronic engineering. From 1998 to 2009, he was with Information and Communications University, Daejeon, Korea as an assistant, associate, and full professor in the school of engineering. Since March 2009, he is with KAIST, Daejeon, Korea, as a professor in the department of electrical engineering. In 2017, he has been appointed as an ICT chair professor at KAIST. 

His research interest is CMOS-based radio transceiver IC designs, lately focusing on ultra-low power and extreme high frequencies (that is, sub-TeraHertz) implementations. In the past 10 years, his research interests also include other analog integrated circuit designs such as display semiconductors, power management ICs, and automotive ICs. Lately, his interest has been extended into the Li-ion battery management and diagnosis technologies based on thermodynamic parameters as well as electrochemical spectroscopy.

From 2005 to 2009, he served as a technical committee member of IEEE ISSCC in the wireless communication technology committee. From 2005 to 2010, he served as a research director of Auto-ID Lab Korea. In 2007, his laboratory was selected as a National Research Laboratory. From 2012 to 2017, he served as a director of Future Promising Fusion Technology Pioneer Center, leading a research group in the area of silicon technology-based THz IC design.
