Professor : Sanghoon Lee, Ph. D.

Sanghoon Lee obtained his B.S degree in physics from Korea University, Seoul, in 1987; and his Ph.D. degree in magnetic semiconductor physics at University of Notre Dame in 1996. After spending three years as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at physics department in University of Notre Dame (1997-1999), he joined the Electrical Materials Engineering Department at Kwangwoon University as a faculty member (2000). At Kwangwoon University he founded spin functional semiconductor research center supported by creative research initiative program.

In 2001 he joined to Korea University as an assistant professor. He was promoted to the rank of Professor in 2008. His current research focuses on the spin related phenomena in semiconductor nanostructures, which include magnetic semiconductor materials growth, characterization of spin property, and semiconductor spin devices. Prof. Lee is the author or co-author of over 200 publications in SCI journals, mostly in the area of spin phenomena in semiconductors and magnetic materials. Sanghoon Lee is a member of the Korean academy of science and technology, and the member of Korean Physics society. Sanghoon Lee was a member of Program Committees of at several international conferences on semiconductor nanostructures and/or spin-electronic effects in solids. Sanghoon Lee collaborates with colleagues in at least 10 other institutions, and has provided measurement techniques and intellectual input toward Ph.D. theses of over 10 graduate students in institutions other than his own. During Feb. 2013 ~ Jan. 2015, he has served as department chair and the Director of BK21 plus project. Currently, he is an editor for one of SCI journals 'Current Applied Physics' published by Elsevier.
