Prof. Hwi Kim was born in Seoul, South Korea, in 1977. He received the Ph.D. and M.S. degrees from the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Seoul National University, South Korea, in 2007 and 2003, respectively. He has served as a faculty member in Korea University (Sejong Campus) since 2010, and has worked in the fields of optical metamaerials, computational electromagnetics, holography and diffractive optics. His research covers the practical applications of optical metamaterials, plasmonics and holography as well as the fundamental aspects of optics. In 2017, Prof. Kim was selected as the young leader of hologram technology in ‘100 leading technologies and leaders in 2025 of South Korea’ by The National Academy of Engineering of Korea (NAEK) with the contribution to the development of computational holography and holographic three-dimensional display technology. He has conducted long term research on the parallel computational frequency domain method for electromagnetics super-computing and wrote a book "Fourier Modal Method and Its Applications in Computational Nanophotonics," (CRC Press, Taylor Francis Group, 2012).
