Prof. Byun received the Ph.D. degree in EE (Electrical Engineering) from the UCLA, Los Angeles, California, USA. He is currently Full Professor and Director of the AI-powered Integrated Circuits/Systems (AIC) Lab with the Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) of Inha University, Korea.

From 1999 to 2005, he was a Sr. Engineer with Samsung Electronics, where he worked on the design of high speed DRAMs such as DDR2, GDDR3, Rambus and XDR. In 2006, he was a research intern with Intel where he worked on the design of a cache memory and a 3D CMP with RISC core architecture. From 2007 to 2011, he was a Sr. Engineer with Inphi (acquired by Rambus and Marvell), where he worked on the design of advanced memory buffer, clocking circuit, and high speed IO circuit design between multi-core CPU and DRAM.

His research area includes AI-powered Analog IC and AI Systems design for energy-efficient high-performance computing, wireline/wireless communication and RF/THz electronics for sensing/imaging and biomedical applications. He is the author/co-author of over peer-reviewed 93 journal/conference papers/patents in the field of electronic circuits.

Prof. Byun was the recipient of the prestigious NSF CAREER Award (2014), NSF-FRS Award (2013) and the NSF BRIGE Award (2012).
