Professor Sung-Wan Hong Appointed as Korea Representative of the IEEE ISSCC Technical Program Committee

Prof. Sung-Wan Hong from the Department of Electronic Engineering at Sogang University has been appointed as the Korea Representative of the Technical Program Committee (TPC) for the International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC), organized by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

Held annually in February in San Francisco, USA, ISSCC is widely recognized as the world’s most prestigious conference in the semiconductor field and is often referred to as the "Olympics of Semiconductors." Since its inception in 1954, the conference has served as a global platform where more than 4,000 semiconductor engineers gather to share cutting-edge research and discuss the future of the semiconductor industry.

The selection of papers to be presented, as well as the planning of lectures and discussion sessions, is overseen by 13 Technical Program Committees (TPCs), each composed of distinguished researchers from academia and industry with proven achievements.

Currently, there are a total of 24 active TPC members from Korea, including 8 from Samsung Electronics, 1 from SK hynix, 5 from KAIST, 3 from Seoul National University, and 1 each from Sogang University, DGIST, GIST, UNIST, Korea University, Hanyang University, and Kwangwoon University.

Professor Hong began his role as a TPC member in 2024 and has now been appointed as the Korea Representative. In this capacity, he will preside over the Korean TPC meetings and press briefings, foster interactions with representatives from other countries, and contribute to the advancement of semiconductor technologies.
