I gave an invited talk at the Workshop on Machine Learning in Wireless Communications (WMLC), which was held in conjunction with WiOpt 2025.
Our paper titled "Battery-aware Cyclic Scheduling in Energy-harvesting Federated Learning" has been accepted to SPAWC 2025. (available in ArXiv now and in IEEE proceedings soon.)
Our paper titled "DRACO: Decentralized Asynchronous Federated Learning over Row-Stochastic Wireless Networks" has been accepted to the IEEE Open Journal of the Communications Society. It took 2 years and 4 months from the idea's development to the announcement of acceptance. This gives me just wholesome happiness.
I successfully defended my doctoral thesis on a beautiful Friday in Sophia Antipolis!
The title is "Communication-Efficient Decentralized Learning for Intelligent Networked Systems," in which I covered serverless (decentralized) learning breakthroughs that address wireless channel conditions, straggling edge devices, and distinct data distribution that requires personalization.
I have endless words of thanks to many people, including my advisor, Marios, my Korean and non-Korean friends both inside and outside academia, and my invaluable family members.

After two months of delightful Summer vacation, my dog and I moved to Linköping, Sweden. Hej!
With the CNIS group, I will focus on semantic-aware communications, leveraging my background knowledge of distributed/decentralized learning.
Also, I need to drop by the famous IKEA to buy some furniture.
I have shared my rejection histories here because I want to encourage researchers who have disappointing results from their academic activities. Many people intentionally upload good news only (e.g., paper acceptance, awards, promotions at work, etc.), although they must have had some unhappy experiences. Research life goes on anyways.
This journey as a doctoral student in France apparently had an end, but it does not mean that I could prepare for it. I will miss everything and everyone.
It was a pleasure to share my research work in such a lovely city. Also I enjoyed having enough (or too much, to be honest) carbonara and prosecco.
Our paper titled "Personalized Decentralized Federated Learning with Knowledge Distillation" has been accepted to ICC 2023. (available in IEEE ICC proceedings and ArXiv.)
Seems like it's their tradition to announce one's acceptance on every 18th of January.
Went to SSIE 2022 – IEEE Italy Section Summer School held in Brixen (Bressanone), Italy for one week.
It was a pleasure to stay at my hometown for business purpose. Also I enjoyed sightseeing with my friends.
Our paper titled "Asynchronous Decentralized Learning over Unreliable Wireless Networks" has been accepted to ICC 2022.
+ It is available in IEEE ICC proceedings and Arxiv.
Our submission to the workshop FL-NeurIPS 2022 was not accepted.
This evening I was cuddling my dog in order to make myself feel better.
I cannot be happier than today.
Happy to start an advanced research life in Sophia Antipolis!
The official graduation ceremony was canceled due to the pandemic. My degree certification is valid though.
Submitted my thesis to the library as a hardcover book. Proud & embarrassed.
The full version is available online: https://dcollection.yonsei.ac.kr/srch/srchDetail/000000523562?localeParam=en
Got informed that my submission was not accepted to Globecom 2019, which gives a good excuse to drink alcohol with friends.
Now I understand these Reviewer #2 memes..
My paper titled “Multi-hop Federated Private Data Augmentation with Sample Compression ” was accepted and to be presented at IJCAI FML workshop.
