Exploring Olfactory Technology

Sungho Jin received his Ph.D. degree in materials science and engineering from the University of California, Berkeley in 1974. After two years of research at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, he joined Bell Laboratories at Murray Hill, New Jersey in 1976, where he carried out forefront materials and devices research at Bell Labs for 26 years. He joined University of California, San Diego (UCSD) in July, 2002 as a Professor of Materials Science and the inaugural Iwama Endowed Chair, and is currently serving as Director of UCSD-wide Materials Science & Engineering Program. In 2006, he became the Distinguished Professor at UC San Diego. Calvin Gardner is a graduate student in Mechanical Engineering at the University of California, San Diego. He has previously completed an MS degree in Mechanical Engineering at the same university, as well as BS degrees at Brigham Young University in Mechanical Engineering along with degrees in Applied Physics and Philosophy. Hyunsu Kim is a graduate student in Materials Science and Engineering at the University of California, San Diego. He received a BS degree in Polymer Science at Kyungpook National University, Daegu, South Korea, where after he went on to the graduate school of Pohang University of Science and Technology to receive a MS degree in Materials Science & Engineering. He then worked at Samsung Electronics in Korea as a research engineer for 6 years before joining the group of Prof. Jin.
