Eun Sok Kim, Ph.D. - Professor

Research Interests:

(1) microfluidic systems (for biomedical technologies) using self-focusing acoustic transducers and dome-shaped-diaphragm transducers, (2) hearing/listening aid devices using silicon-based miniature microphone and microspeaker, (3) underwater acoustic imaging system and medical imaging system using an array of hydrophones and ultrasonic transducers, (4) piezoelectrically actuated microcantilevers for optical applications, (5) bulk-acoustic-wave resonators for high-frequency (> GHz) filter and oscillator applications.
 
Biographical Information:

Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, 1990, UC, Berkeley, CA..

Eun Sok Kim received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees, all in electrical engineering, from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1982, 1987, and 1990, respectively. His doctoral dissertation was on the integrated microphone with LSI CMOS on a single chip.
In Fall 1999, he joined the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, and is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering. From Spring 1991 to Fall 1999, he worked at the Department of Electrical Engineering in the University of Hawaii at Manoa (UH) as an assistant professor for the first 4.5 years and then as an associate professor. He worked at IBM Research Laboratory, San Jose, CA, NCR Corp., San Diego, CA, and Xicor Inc., Milpitas, CA as a co-op student, design engineer, and summer-student engineer, respectively.
Dr. Kim serves on the editorial board for Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering. He has been awarded a Research Initiation Award (FY 91-93) and a Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award (FY 95-99) by National Science Foundation. He received Outstanding EE Faculty of the Year Award (voted by UH IEEE student chapter) in May 1996.
