Jun-Bo Yoon (S’92–M’01) received the B.S. (summa cum laude), M.S., and Ph.D. degrees from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Daejeon, Korea, in 1993, 1995, and 1999, respectively, all in electrical engineering.
He worked on a high-Q micromachined inductor, which was cited as the best work on planar inductors at that time in the RF MEMS book of Gabriel Rebeiz entitled RF MEMS Theory, Design, and Technology, during his Ph.D. research. From 1999 to 2000, he was with the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA, as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow, during which time he invented the first movable-dielectric tunable RF MEMS capacitor, which holds the record for highest Q-factor. In 2000, he returned as a Research Assistant Professor with the Department of Electrical Engineering, KAIST, where he is currently a Professor. He was with Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA, from 2008 to 2009 on his sabbatical leave. He has been working in the MEMS fields for more than 20 years. He has made contributions to the world’s smallest/lowest-voltage nanoelectromechanical switches, the invention of the 3-D diffuser lithography, and high-Q RF MEMS components. He has authored or co-authored more than 200 journal and conference papers. He holds 37 international and 78 Korean patents. His research interests include RF MEMS, display MEMS, and micro/nanoelectromechanical switches for solid-state memory/logic applications. He is an Editor of the IEEE Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems, on the Editorial Boards of the IOP Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering, and the Editor-in-Chief of Micro and Nano Systems Letters.
Dr. Yoon was a recipient of the Third-Place Award of the Student Paper Competition presented at the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society’s International Microwave Symposium in 1999. He received the Excellent Teaching Awards from the Department of Electrical Engineering in 2003, 2007, and 2011, and from KAIST in 2006. He has served as a Technical Program Committee Member of the IEEE A-SSCC 2007, Transducers 2009, the IEEE MEMS 2009, the IEEE MEMS 2010, and the Transducers 2011 conferences, and as an Executive Program Committee Member of the Transducers 2013 and Transducers 2015 conferences. He has been with the World Micromachine Summit since 2011.
