Byoung-Jo "J" Kim (IEEE S’93 - M’98) received his B.S. from Seoul National University, Korea in ’93 (as the top student of my department), M.S. in ’95 and Ph.D. from Stanford University in ‘97 all in Electrical Engineering.

He had worked and consulted for several wireless start-up companies in the Silicon Valley before joining the Mobile Wireless Network Research Group in AT&T Labs-Research in '98.

From '93 until '99, he worked on physical layer technologies for wireless communications, including radio propagation, signal processing, and system-level engineering of cellular networks such as capacity, frequency planning, etc.

His current research interests are WMANs, WLANs, wireless access, mesh network, mobile networking and computing, especially access network architecture, mobility management, wireless security, and 'open' approaches for cross-layer optimization from physical to applications layers. 

The major theme of his research is to combine the advancement of Wireless Systems research in Electrical Engineering and that of Mobile Networks/Applications research in Computer Engineering.

His recent projects cover IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.16 & WiMAX technologies, multi-hop mesh networks, multi-network interface/multi-domain mobility, wireless security, radio resource management, next-generation mobile network architecture.

He has been active in related industry standard activities such as IEEE 802.11 & 802.16 Working Groups, Wi-Fi Alliance and WiMAX Forum.
