Academic Background
Yonsei UIC graduate working across systems, memory, and institutions.
I am Jongpyo Hong, a graduate of Yonsei University’s Underwood International College, where I majored in Nano Science and Engineering and double majored in Economics. I graduated in six semesters as the UIC valedictorian of the Class of February 2025, with a GPA of 4.27/4.3 and Highest Honor Roll distinction.
My work connects semiconductor memory, thin-film transistor research, economics, law, and public policy: an interest in how systems behave under constraint and how technical questions become institutional, legal, and human questions.
