Shinil Cho attended Rikkyo University in Tokyo, Japan, for his BS; Seoul National University in Seoul, Korea, for his MS; and The Ohio State University in Ohio, USA, for his PhD. He held post-doctoral fellowships at The Ohio State University and University of Florida, and he was also a visiting professor at the University of South Carolina. He has been at La Roche University since 1995.Currently has been a professor at La Roche since 1995.  He has conducted research in cryogenic magnetic resonance spectroscopy below 1K and biometric fingerprint authentication. His current research interests include quantum computation, biometrics, and physics education. Other than physics, he has many publications and has done many presentations on biometrics in London, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, and several cities in the United States.
