§        Dr. Yong-June Shin

 

shinjune(at)engr.sc.edu

 

Dr. Yong-June Shin received the B.S. degree from Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea, in 1996 with early completion honors and the M.S. degree from The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 1997. He received the Ph.D. degree from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, The University of Texas at Austin, in 2004. He is a member of Seoul Science High School Alumni Society and is a recipient of National Science Foundation Early Faculty Career Development Award (CAREER), and GE Korean-American Education Commission scholarship.

 

Upon his graduation, he joined the Department of Electrical Engineering, The University of South Carolina as an Assistant Professor. His area of research is power engineering/ power electronics, with emphasis on power quality and harmonics. His research interests include advanced signal processing theory: time-frequency analysis, wavelets, and higher order statistical signal processing. Dr. Shin's current research interests are characterized by the application of novel digital signal processing techniques to a wide variety of important transient and nonlinear problems in science and engineering. His fields of interdisciplinary research extend to network communication engineering, measurement & instrumentation, and biomedical engineering.

 

Dr. Shin is in charge of Digital Signal Processing (ELCT 321), Introduction to Communication Systems (ELCT 332), Time-Frequency/Time-Scale Analysis (ELCT 899), and power quality (ELCT 752). You can find his teaching history here.
