Texas ECE Ph.D. student Sinwoo Cho has received a 2025 MTT-S Graduate Fellowship from the IEEE Microwave Theory and Technology Society. The MTT-S Graduate Fellowship program encourages and supports graduate students from around the world who are interested in pursuing studies in the field of microwave engineering. 

Sinwoo is entering his fourth year as a Ph.D. candidate at Texas ECE. He received his B.S. degree in Biomedical Engineering from Inje University, Korea, in 2019 and his M.S. degree in Integrated Design Engineering from Keio University, Japan, in 2021. His research primarily focuses on RF acoustic front-end, including RF microsystem, RF MEMS, filter, and resonator. In particular, he works on frequency scaling scandium aluminum nitride (ScAlN) thin-film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) into millimeter wave (mmWave).

He received the IEEE International Microwave Symposium third place Best Student Paper Award in 2024, IEEE Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) Best Student Paper Finalists in 2024, Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship (QIF) North America Finalists in 2022, and IEEE Texas Symposium on Wireless & Microwave Circuits and Systems (WMCS) Student Research Competition 1st Place Award in 2022.

Sinwoo is advised by Prof. Ruochen Lu in the UT RF Acoustic Microsystems Group.
