The Emerging Semiconductor Technology Laboratory (ESTL) focuses on developing next-generation semiconductor materials/devices and computing systems. We explore novel materials, device architectures, switching mechanisms, and system-level designs to enable new computing paradigms.
We are looking for highly motivated postdocs, graduate students, and undergraduate students with various backgrounds (materials science, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, physics, chemistry, etc.) to join our team.
If you are interested, please send an e-mail to Prof. Kyung Seok Woo (kevinwoo@unist.ac.kr).
