Bumman Kim Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), Korea. Bumman Kim (M'78-SM'97-F'07) received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, in 1979. In 1981, he joined the Central Research Laboratories, Texas Instruments Incorporated, where he was involved in development of GaAs power field-effect transistors (FETs) and monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs). He has developed a large-signal model of a power FET, dual-gate FETs for gain control, high-power distributed amplifiers, and various millimeter-wave MMICs. In 1989, he joined the Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), Pohang, Gyungbuk, Korea, where he is a POSTECH Fellow and a Namko Professor with the Department of Electrical Engineering, and Director of the Microwave Application Research Center. He is involved in device and circuit technology for RF integrated circuits (RFICs) and PAs. He has authored over 300 technical papers. Prof. Kim is a member of the Korean Academy of Science and Technology and the National Academy of Engineering of Korea. He was an associate editor for the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON MICROWAVE THEORY AND TECHNIQUES. He was a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (IEEE MTT-S) and an IEEE MTT-S Administrative Committee (AdCom) member.
