The Fall 2015 semester is underway at UNIST!

This semester, Prof. Katherine A. Kim is teaching an undergraduate and graduate course as follows:

EE313: Introduction to Control [자동제어공학개론]
Level: Undergraduate Course
Description: Introduction to Controls is an upper-level undergraduate course where you will learn the fundamentals of dynamic system analysis and control theory. Projects and teamwork are important aspects of this flipped-learning-based class. The primary goal of the course is for students to finish the semester with a clear understanding of various realistic dynamic systems and how to design and analyze an effective controller.
Video Lectures: Introduction to Control EE313

ECE839: Special Topics – Power Electronics for Energy Harvesting [에너지 하베스팅 전력전자공학]
Level: Graduate Course
Description: Power Electronics for Energy Harvesting is a Special Topics PhD level course where you will learn the basics of energy harvesting technologies and associated power electronics topology and control methods. The primary goal of the course is for students to gain a clear understanding of power electronics techniques for low-power energy harvesting applications.

We are excited to have a new undergraduate student, HoaeJeong Jeong (정회정), who has joined the PEARS Lab!

Two journal papers from the PEARS Lab have also come out this Fall:

1. “Reexamination of Photovoltaic Hot Spotting to Show Inadequacy of the Bypass Diode,” by Katherine A. Kim and Philip T. Krein, in IEEE J. Photovoltaic., vol. 5, no. 5. pp. 1435-1441, Sept. 2015.
2. “Fluorescent Light Energy Harvesting Using a Capacitive Touch Screen,” by Seulkirom Kim, Katherine A. Kim and Franklin Bien, in Electronics Letters, vol. 51, no. 21. pp. 1695-1697, Oct. 2015.
