Seunguk Song

Email: seunguk@seas.upenn.edu

Seunguk Song, Ph.D., is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Pennsylvania’s Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering. He earned his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) in Korea. His work aims to address unresolved issues in semiconductor science and technology. To this end, he is conducting research in electronics, optoelectronic devices, and the synthesis of 2D transition metal chalcogenides. Specifically, he specializes in the precise epitaxy of various 2D semiconductors and heterostructures, and in the creation of atomic-scale devices for use in sub-thermionic transistors, emerging memory devices, and quantum technology. Dr. Song was awarded the Korea Global Ph.D. Fellowship in 2016, the Korea National Research Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship in 2021, the Korea Conference on Semiconductors (KCS) Thesis Award in 2018, and the KCS SK-Hynix Award in 2021 for his commitment to advancing the fields of nanoelectronics and photonics. In his free time, he enjoys traveling, reading, staying updated with scientific research, and watching soccer matches.
