About me
I'm a postdoctoral fellow with the Wireless Information and Network Sciences Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). I received my Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST).
My research interests include wireless communications, localization and navigation, signal processing, and machine learning. I was the recipient of the S-Oil Best Dissertation Award in 2021, the Best Ph.D. Dissertation Award from KAIST in 2020, and the ICT Paper Award from the Electronic Times in 2018. I was the recipient of the Global Ph.D. Fellowship from the Korean government.
