  "account": "A professor at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST) has been honored with a S&T Innovation Award for his pioneering work in high-bandwidth memory (HBM). Kim Joung-ho's contributions to Korea's semiconductor industry have been recognized by the Daejeon Development Committee, who will present the prestigious Science and Technology Innovation Award to him at Lotte City Hotel Daejeon on Thursday morning.\n\nFor over three decades, Kim has focused on researching next-generation memory technologies, including HBM, high-bandwidth flash, and high-bandwidth SRAM. He is credited with laying the foundations for HBM and playing a crucial role in its development and commercialization. In 2009, Kim proposed core concepts and the basic architecture of HBM, and he participated in key design and technology validation work during its development. His efforts were instrumental in SK hynix's successful commercialization of HBM technology in December 2013.",
