معرفی
Sieun Chae is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Oregon State University (OSU), part of the College of Engineering. Her research focuses on the rational design of electronic materials for energy-efficient microelectronics, integrating theoretical and experimental approaches. She holds a B.S. in Materials Science and Engineering from Yonsei University (2015), an M.S. from Seoul National University (2017), and a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan (2022). Prior to her faculty position, she conducted postdoctoral research at Cornell University and worked as a research fellow in South Korea.
Her research interests include ultra-wide-band-gap semiconductors, entropy-stabilized oxide memristors for neuromorphic computing, and back-end-of-line compatible semiconductors for 3D integration. Key projects involve developing novel materials for high-power electronics, low-temperature synthesis techniques, and device fabrication to demonstrate state-of-the-art performance.
Her group employs first-principles calculations, high-throughput materials informatics, and epitaxial growth methods. Collaborations span computational modeling, materials synthesis, and device engineering to address challenges in power electronics and AI applications. The Chae Lab actively engages undergraduate and graduate students in projects combining theory and experimentation.
Publications highlight contributions to semiconductor doping mechanisms, memristor design, and oxide alloy thermodynamics. Advising includes mentoring students in ECE, Materials Science, and Computer Science, with a focus on interdisciplinary research. Lab facilities support thin-film synthesis, materials characterization, and device prototyping.
