Award Acceptance Speech by Ph.D. Student Hyun-Su Lee:
"Throughout my Ph.D. studies, I frequently sought my professor’s advice on new research topics, and he consistently provided guidance in the right direction. Thanks to his meticulous mentorship, I was able to receive this meaningful award for my work in circuit design from IEEE SSCS. Not content with this achievement, I will continue to strive to become an outstanding scholar. Once again, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my professor and my colleagues at BASIC Lab for guiding me to this point."
