 <\/p>\n

On January 7, Professors Hoi-Jun Yoo and Joo-Young Kim from our department inaugurated their Next-Generation Collaborative Research Lab.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Next-Generation Collaborative Research Lab is a unique KAIST initiative that enables retiring professors to pass on their academic achievements and expertise through collaboration with junior faculty members. Since its introduction in 2018, a total of 12 such research labs have been established. Our department now hosts three collaborative research labs, including the newly opened lab of Professor Yoo. The other two are the “KAIST System Semiconductor Packaging Research Lab” led by Professor Jeong-Ho Kim (opened in November 2022) and the “Vision-Centric General AI Research Lab” led by Professor In-So Kweon (opened in December 2023).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The newly launched “Next-Generation AI Semiconductor Systems Research Lab” will be directed by Professor Hoi-Jun Yoo in collaboration with Professor Joo-Young Kim.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Professor Yoo is a globally recognized scholar with outstanding research achievements in on-device AI semiconductor design. Professor Kim, as a rising researcher in the field, focuses on large language models and AI semiconductor design for servers. His expertise includes PIM (Processing-in-Memory) design technology, a critical element in AI semiconductor development.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The lab will systematically collaborate and transfer knowledge on next-generation AI semiconductor design technologies, including brain-inspired AI algorithms such as deep neural networks and generative AI. Furthermore, it aims to maximize the applicability of research outcomes to bolster the competitive position of domestic AI semiconductor companies in the global market, driving innovation in research and development.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Professor Yoo shared his aspirations: “Through collaborative research, we aim to propose future directions for the next generation of AI semiconductors in Korea and globally, playing a key role in transferring and expanding global leadership in this field.”<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
