Distinctions from famend group spotlight firm’s prowess in communications and AI
Samsung Electronics right this moment introduced that 5 of its researchers from around the globe have been chosen as 2025 Fellows of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers1 (IEEE), one of many world’s most prestigious engineering organizations. The Samsung researchers embrace:
- Paul Kyungwhoon Cheun, President, CTO of the System eXperience (DX) Division and Head of Samsung Analysis
- Younsun Kim, Grasp at Samsung Analysis
- Timothy Hospedales, Head of Samsung Analysis’s Europe AI Middle
- Michael Scott Brown, Head of Samsung Analysis’s AI Middle in Toronto
- Yuri Masuoka, Fellow and Head of the SRAM Lab within the Foundry Enterprise of the System Options (DS) Division
The title of ‘IEEE Fellow’ is the very best membership grade and, following an intensive evaluation course of, is granted yearly to the highest 0.1% of IEEE members who’ve demonstrated important contributions to societal development. These with no less than ten years of expertise of their fields are chosen based mostly on seven analysis standards, together with excellent analysis and growth achievements, contributions to the business and experience within the area.
