Biography 

Wonjin Sung received his B.S. degree in Electronics Engineering from Seoul National University, Korea, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Scicence from University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA. 

After completing his doctoral degree, Dr. Sung joined Hughes Network Systems, Germantown, Maryland, USA as a Member of Technical Staff, where he participated in development projects for cellular and satellite systems including IS-136 base station modems, multimode ground terminals for medium orbit satellites, and Inmarsat-IV air interface design. He was promoted to a Senior Member of Technical Staff then to a Principal Engineer during 4 years he was with Hughes as a recognition to his development achievements. 

In September 2000, he joined the faculty of the Department of Electronic Engineering, Sogang University, Seoul, Korea, where he is currently a Professor. As the founder and director of DT Lab at Sogang University, Prof. Sung has performed a number of government and industry funded projects in the areas of mobile wireless communications, statistical communication theory, signal processing techniques for baseband modems and distributed antenna systems. 

From August 2008 to July 2009, he was on a sabbatical leave to Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona, USA as a Visiting Scholar, analyzing multi-cell cooperative transmission strategies and their impact on cell-edge performance. 

From 2012, he has been the project leader and chief investigator for a 3-year ICT (Information & Communication Technology) R&D Program sponsored by Ministry of Science, ICT, & Future Planning of Korea, to develop the concept of a cognitive radio based cellular system over an unlicensed spectrum including the TV White Space and the 5GHz ISM band. Prof. Sung is also the chief investigator for designing next-generation codebooks for LTE exploiting the characteristics of the spatial channel model, sponsored by National Research Foundation of Korea since 2014. 

His current research interests include intelligent data transmission techniques, beamforming and reference signaling for massive MIMO, and standardization issues for next-generation wireless systems. He is a member of IEEE, KICS, IEIE, KIEES, and IEICE.
