Dong Min KIM

My main research theme is autonomously networked society. Research will utilize communication and network tool such as Machine-to-Machine Communication, Software Defined Network and Cloud Architecture, mathematical tool such as Stochastic Geometry and Information Theory, computer scientific tool such as Machine learning and blockchain.

I got my B.S. and Ph.D. from the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Yonsei University in Seoul, Korea. My advisor was Professor Seong-Lyun Kim. I'm currently working at Department of Internet of Things in SCH Media Labs in Soonchunhyang University. I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at Aalborg University, Denmark. The principal investigator was Professor Petar Popovski. Now I am spending wonderful time learning, collaborating and teaching in SCH Media Labs, where I met amazing mentors, friends and students. I'm currently working on Internet-of-Things (IoT), machine-to-machine communications. I'm interested in resource management and multiple access, cross-layer optimization in wireless networks, network information theory, networked robotics, machine-to-machine communications, smart grid, distributed intelligent system and economic aspect of wireless (especially cognitive) network technologies.

Besides, I'm also interested in playing the classical/acoustic/electric guitars, basketball and listening to a concert. I'm a "walkholic." I used to continue walking in an effort to clear my mind for mental breakthrough.
