Byung-Gook Park received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electronics Engineering from Seoul National University (SNU) in 1982 and 1984, respectively, and his Ph. D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University in 1990. From 1990 to 1993, he worked at the AT&T Bell Laboratories, where he contributed to the development of 0.1 micron CMOS and its characterization. From 1993 to 1994, he was with Texas Instruments, developing 0.25 micron CMOS. In 1994, he joined SNU as an assistant professor in the School of Electrical Engineering (SoEE), where he is currently a professor. In 2002, he worked at Stanford University as a visiting professor, on his sabbatical leave from SNU. He has been leading the Inter-university Semiconductor Research Center (ISRC) at SNU as the director from June 2008.

His current research interests include the design and fabrication of nanoscale CMOS, flash memories, and silicon quantum devices. He has authored and co-authored over 600 research papers in journals and conferences, and currently holds 39 Korean and 7 U.S. patents. He has served as a committee member on several international conferences, including Microprocesses and Nanotechnology, IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting, International Conference on Solid State Devices and Materials, and IEEE Silicon Nanoelectronics Workshop (technical program chair in 2005, general chair in 2007). He is currently serving as an executive director of Institute of Electronics Engineers of Korea (IEEK) and a board member of IEEE Seoul Section. He received “Best Teacher” Award from SoEE in 1997, Doyeon Award for Creative Research from ISRC in 2003, and Educational Award from College of Engineering, SNU, in 2006, Haedong Research Award from IEEK in 2008.
