Professors Feliciano Guistino (far left), Alex Demkov (near left), and Chad Landis(far right) with the newly minted Dr. Inhwan Kim (near right) after Inhwan’s successful Doctoral Dissertation defense.
July 30, 2026 – Dr. Inhwan Kim defended his Doctoral Dissertation discussing his research on emergent phenomena in electro-optic oxide materials, including the linear electro-optic response in barium titanate (BaTiO3) and lithium niobate (LiNbO3). Theoretical studies of electro-optic responses and non-absorptive scattering losses are conducted using first-principles density functional theory (DFT) and the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method to utilize future applications of oxide thin-films in Si photonics. He is now pursuing his next career in patent drafting at Fish & Richardson in the DC area.
Congratulations, Dr. Kim!
