Chang-Sik Choi is an Assistant Professor in the School of Electrical Engineering at KAIST, where he leads the CONNECT Lab. His research focuses on developing tractable and geometry-aware models for next-generation communication systems, including satellite networks and vehicular networks using mathematical tools.
Prior to joining KAIST, he was with SKKU, Hongik University, and Qualcomm Wireless R&D, where he worked on vehicular communications and positioning systems, contributing to multiple patents. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from The University of Texas at Austin.
His current research aims to establish a new analytical framework for large-scale wireless networks by explicitly incorporating orbital structures and dynamics, moving beyond conventional spatial models.
