Sieun Chae is an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at OSU. She received her B.S. in materials science and engineering from Yonsei University in South Korea in 2015 and worked as a research fellow at Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (2015-2017). She then received a Ph.D. in materials science and engineering in 2022 from the University of Michigan and moved to Cornell University to complete her postdoctoral research.

Her vision is to parallelize the rational design of materials atom by atom: from atomistic theory to atomic layer by layer synthesis. She is best known for her works in the discovery of new ultra-wide-band-gap semiconductors, p-type oxide semiconductors, and memristive materials for AI applications.
