Recognized for achievements with ‘Study on Electric Features of Surface-treated Gallium-arsenic Nano-wires’
Selected as best paper among studies published in the past three years by the Korean Vacuum Society
YU Department of Physics Professor Shin Jae-cheol (44) won the Korea Vacuum Society’s ‘Boho Vacuum Science’ Award’.
The ‘Boho Vacuum Science Award’ was established through an academic fund development by Dr. Boho Park Dong-soo, the first chairman of the Korean Vacuum Society, and it selects and awards the best study published in the Korean Vacuum Society Journal in the past three years.
Professor Shin was recognized for his achievements with his thesis titled ‘Study on Electric Features of Surface-treated Gallium-arsenic Nano-wires’ and received the Boho Vacuum Science Award at the summer academic conference of the Korean Vacuum Society held at Sono Calm Jeju on August 20.
Professor Shin published 123 academic papers through his research on producing photoelectric elements using compound semiconductors. He is actively engaged in research on mid-infrared quantum cascade lasers using chemical vapor deposition, nano-wire and two-dimensional materials growth, etc.
Professor Shin earned his PhD at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and completed his post-doctorate’s studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and served as a senior researcher at the Korea Photonics Technology Institute and has been serving as a professor of physics at YU since 2014. He is also a director at the Korea Materials Organization Society and an operating committee member of the Korean Vacuum Society Department of Semiconductors and Thin Films.
