After he received B.S. degree in 1975 in the field of applied physics at Seoul National University, M.S. degree in 1977 in the field of condensed matter physics at KAIST, he carried out research at Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science till 1980. Then, he decided to continue his study in the United States and received his Ph.D. degree in 1984 in the field of materials physics at Northwestern University.

Academic Experiences

After Shin received his Ph.D. degree, he joined Eastman Kodak's Research Lab as a senior researcher and carried out research till 1989. At that time, the South Korean government urged scientists abroad to come back to South Korea and contribute to the development of national science and technology and nurturing young scientists and engineers.

Shin replied to the call and joined KAIST in 1989 as an assistant professor in the department of physics. In 2009, Shin became a chair professor of KAIST. During 22 years in KAIST, he held various academic positions. He served as a founding director of the Korea Institute for Advance Study (1996), director of Center for Nanospinics of Spintronic Materials (1998–2005), founding director of Institute of Nano Science & Technology (2001~2003) in KAIST. He also has held various academic positions of many other organizations such as a president of the Korean Magnetics Society(2009~2010), a chairman of ICM2012(2009~2012), and a president of Korean Physical Society (2011~2012).

Shin published over 320 journal papers, holds 37 patents, delivered 160 international and national invited academic talks, and supervised over 80 Postdoctoral, M.S., Ph.D. students.

He served as vice-dean of student affairs, director of International Cooperation Division, and dean of planning as well as vice president (2004–2005) in KAIST. He also served as a board member of Expo Science Park, a president of Daedeok Club (Opinion Leaders’ Club for Science and Technology in Daeduck Science Town) (2002–2008), emceed a science program broadcast by KBS, a major Korean television broadcasting network, provided advice on science policy to the government, including Ministry of Science and Technology and Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning, and delivered more than 140 public lectures. Shin was appointed as a member of PACST (Presidential Advisory Council on Science & Technology)]. The role of PACST is to provide advice and consultations to the president of South Korea on issues related to science and technology. Shin is also serving as the chair of Committee for Future Strategy, PACST.

The South Korean government founded DGIST as a research institute in 2004 and changed the related law to allow DGIST offer degree programs in 2008. Therefore, DGIST changed its system from a research institute to a university and opened graduate program in March 2011. The South Korean government appointed Shin as the founding president of this new university. He has been serving as the founding president of DGIST since 2011.
