지창현 교수는 1995년, 1997년, 2001년에 각각 서울대학교에서 전기공학 학사, 석사 및 전기컴퓨터공학 박사 학위를 취득하였다.
박사 과정 중 마이크로 포토닉스 응용을 위한 전자기 구동 방식의 마이크로 미러 설계, 공정 및 평가 연구에 집중하였으며, 학계와 산업계를 아우르는 폭넓은 연구 경력을 보유하고 있다. 2011년 이화여자대학교 부임 전에는 LG전자 기술원에서 선임 및 책임연구원으로 재직하며 광통신 및 래스터 스캐닝 레이저 디스플레이 시스템용 마이크로 액추에이터 개발을 주도하였다.
이후 2006년부터 2011년까지 미국 조지아 공과대학교에서 박사후연구원으로 재직하며 통합 전력 전자용 관통 전극 기술, 무선 전력 전송 및 에너지 저장용 마이크로 소자, 에너지 하베스팅 기술 등 차세대 마이크로 시스템 연구를 수행하였다.
현재 주요 연구 분야는 파워 MEMS(Power MEMS), 바이오 MEMS(Bio-MEMS), 광 MEMS(Optical MEMS) 및 나노 가공 기술이며, 마이크로 시스템과 통합 기술의 혁신을 이끌고 있다.
