Suhwan Kim (suhwan#ieee.org:# -> @) received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from Korea University, Korea, in 1990 and 1992, respectively and the Ph.D. degree - VLSI in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 2001.
From 1993 to 1997, Dr. Kim was with LG Electronics, Seoul Korea, where he designed several multimedia systems-on-a-chip (SOC), including an MPEG2 CODEC for audio, video, and system. Dr. Kim joined IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in 2001, where he currently is a Research Staff Member. His research interests encompass circuits and technology for low-power and high-performance SOC and low-power design methodologies for high-performance VLSI signal processing. Dr. Kim has received the 1991 Best Student Paper Award of the IEEE Korea Section and the First Prize in the VLSI Design Contest of the 2001 ACM/IEEE Design Automation Conference. He has participated several times in the Organizing Committee and Technical Program Committee of the IEEE International SOC Conference and in the Technical Committee of the International Symposium on Low Power Electronics and Designs.
