KOREA WHO

Kim Jong-hyun is the CEO of UniTest.

He is the founder of UniTest, a company specializing in producing memory testers, which are final inspection devices used in memory semiconductor processes.

Kim was born on October 9, 1962, in Hongseong, South Chungcheong Province.

He graduated with a degree in Applied Physics from Inha University and earned a master's degree in Physics from the Graduate School of Seoul National University.

After completing his studies, Kim joined Samsung Electronics, working as a researcher in the semiconductor division.

In 2000, driven by a goal to localize semiconductor testing equipment, he founded UniTest. The company gained recognition by becoming the first in Korea to release memory module testers and component testers, securing contracts with SK Hynix.

Kim is highly regarded as an exceptional engineer, having received the prestigious "Samsung Group Chairman’s Award" twice during his tenure at Samsung Electronics.

He has a strong interest in renewable energy, particularly in perovskite solar cells, which are seen as a promising solution to overcome the limitations of traditional silicon and thin-film solar cells. Kim envisions perovskite technology as the future of UniTest and is actively investing in research, development, and mass production.
