2009.7 - Gordon McKay Professor of Electrical Engineering & Applied Physics, Harvard U. 2007.7 - John L. Loeb Associate Professor of the Natural Sciences, Harvard U. 2006.7 - Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering, Harvard U. 2002.9 - Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering, Harvard U. 2002.6. - PhD. EE. California Institute of Technology (Caltech). 1999.6. - MS. Physics. Caltech. 1996.2. - BS. Physics. Seoul National University. Donhee Ham is
Gordon McKay Professor of Electrical Engineering and
Applied Physics at Harvard University, where he is with the
School of Engineering and
Applied
Sciences.
He earned a
B.S. in physics from Seoul
National University, South Korea, in 1996, where he graduated summa cum laude
with the Valedictorian Prize as well as the Presidential Prize, ranked
top 1st across the
Natural Science College, and also with the Physics Gold Medal (sole
winner). Following a year and a half of mandatory
service in the Korea Army, he went to Caltech for a graduate training
in physics. There he
worked on general relativity and
gravitational
astrophysics under Professor
Barry Barish, and later
obtained a Ph.D. in
electrical
engineering
in 2002 winning the
Charles Wilts Prize for the best
thesis in Electrical Engineering. His doctoral work examined
the statistical
physics of
electrical circuits. He was the recipient of the IBM Doctoral
Fellowship, Li Ming
Scholarship, IBM Faculty Partnership Award, IBM Research Design
Challenge Award, Silver Medal in the
National Mathematics Olympiad, and the
fellow of the Korea Foundation of Advanced Studies. He shared
Harvard's Hoopes prize
with William Andress. He was recognized by MIT Technology
Review as among the world's top 35 young innovators in 2008
(TR35), for his group's work on CMOS RF biomolecular sensor utilizing
nuclear spin resonance to pursue disease screening and medical
diagnostics in a low-cost, hand-held platform.
