Dr. Minsoo Kim, an alumnus of Sogang University’s Department of Electronic Engineering and a former doctoral student under Professor Hongseok Kim, was appointed as an Assistant Professor in the field of Energy AI in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Hanbat National University (March 1, 2026).

After graduating from Sogang University in 2019, Dr. Kim conducted research on AI-based power grid optimization by combining deep learning and optimization theory, and received his Ph.D. in 2024. During the final stage of his doctoral program, he was awarded a National Research Foundation of Korea grant as principal investigator for a project on AI-based power grid optimization, which further led him to expand his research into electrical engineering as a postdoctoral researcher at the Korea Institute of Energy Technology.

As a postdoctoral researcher, he carried out international collaborative research on Energy AI with MIT and the University of Michigan and published related papers. Since entering his Ph.D. program in 2019, Dr. Kim has published and presented 18 papers in SCIE journals and leading international conferences, including eight as first author.

Professor Hongseok Kim commented that Dr. Kim’s appointment marks another proud achievement for NICE Lab and expressed his hope that more Sogang alumni will continue to grow into distinguished faculty members in the future.
