Texas ECE Ph.D. student Sinwoo Cho received third place at the 2024 International Microwave Symposium (IMS) Student Paper Competition presented by the IEEE Microwave Theory and Technology Society. Cho's paper was on "23.8 GHz Acoustic Filter in Periodically Poled Piezoelectric Film Lithium Niobate with 1.52 db IL and 19.4% FBW."

Sinwoo Cho 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 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.
