Bio

Dr. Moon received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Illinois, Chicago. Along with being a professor at SDSU, he is also a Deputy Director of the National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center for Sensorimotor Neural Engineering (CSNE), a partnership with the University of Washington and MIT. His primary research interests are in smart sensor and actuator technology and integrated systems. He has been active for creating new knowledge viavarious inventions including an innovative manufacturing technology of novel 3D organic light emitting diodes (OLED) and organic photovoltaic (PV) cells. His current research activities include the development for ultrasonic recharging technology for implantable medical device as well as brain-computer-interface (BCI) technology. He is the recipient of the 2010 San Diego State University Top 25 Award and 2011 San Diego State University Monty Award. Before joining San Diego State University faculty in August 2005, he was an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering-Engineering Mechanics at Michigan Technological University.
