Welcome Visitors: Students from Gyeong-Gi Science High School, Korea!

We recently started hosting a visit of talented high school students from South Korea. This year, Mr. Huyk-June Seong and Mr. Chaewoon Kim (11th grade) were visiting our UNL group at UTSA for two weeks (1/15/2018 through 1/26/2018) as part of their oversea research program (ORP) from Gyeong-Gi Science High School (GSHS). GSHS is one of three, prestigious high schools in the Seoul metropolitan area in South Korea that teach and educate young scholars in the STEM field. During their stay, Seong and Kim worked on emerging non-volatile memory research guided and supervised by our lab members. They learned thin-film deposition and characterization by using state-of-the-art deposition (UHV sputter) and characterization (SEM, AFM, etc.), as well as earned some cleanroom experience. Additionally, they performed a finite-element modeling and simulation using COMSOL to investigate novel non-volatile memory structure and physics. The picture is taken in the UTSA ECE conference room at their farewell presentation, which amazed us by their excellent research outcome and presentation skills, and other lab activities with UNL undergrad/grad students. We are thrilled and excited to have them here and hear from them that they got very positive impression on staying abroad in the US.
