Short Biography
Dr. Seongtae Bae received the Ph. D degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, USA in 2003.
He is currently working as an assistant professor and a director of “Nanobiomagnetics and Bioelectronics Laboratory (NB2L)” in the department of electrical engineering at the University of South Carolina (USC), Columbia, USA. Before joining the USC, he was an associate professor in department of neurosurgery at the Seoul National University (SNU) College of Medicine, Seoul, KOREA, and he was also an assistant professor in the department of electrical and computer engineering at the National University of Singapore (NUS) (Singapore) for 9 years. While he was at the SNU, he was doing clinically translatable biomedical researches to develop magnetic nanofluid hyperthermia systems for brain tumors and bioelectronics engineering researches to design and commercialize new types of bioinstrumentations and medical devices/electronics for neurodegenerative diseases, neuromoduclation, and cancers. In addition, while he was at the NUS prior to the SNU, he established the “Biomagnetics Laboratory (BML)” with the financial support from LG micron Co. Ltd (KOREA) in 2005 to support basic applied researches and education in the field of biomagnetics and applied spintronics/nanoelectronics areas. He has around 10 year working experience in both industries and national research institutes in the areas of magnetic materials, magnetic thin films, biomagnetics, magnetoelectronic devices and nanostructured metallic spintronic devices. Dr. Bae's current research interests are focused on 1) Magnetic(ferrite) nanoparticles/nanofluids for nano-theranosis in nanomedicine 2) Magnetic nanofluid hyperthermia for cancers and neurodegenerative diseases, 3) Magnetically-labeled point-care-of biosensors, 4) In vivo & in-vitro magnetic based biosensors/bioMEMS, 4) Extremely low frequency nanomagnetic biomedical devices and medical instrumentation for neural engineering, and 5) Nanostructured Spintronics materials/devices for advanced electronics and energy sustainability
Dr. Bae has published over 80 peer reviewed journal papers, over 85 conference papers, received over 12 patents, and written a book and three book chapters. He is the recipient of "Young research award from ICF8", "Best paper award from MMM 2010", "Student travel award from ICF8", "Student travel award from Symposium on Magnetoeleectronics 2000, USA", "Marques Who's Who in America", "Marques Who's Who in Engineering Higher Education". Dr. Bae is currently members/board members of IEEE Magnetics Society, IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, American Physics Society (APS), Korean Society for Nanomedicine, and International Society of Hyperthermic Oncology.
