Bio

Yeo-Sun Yoon is a signal processing expert born in Seoul, Korea. He earned his Bachelor's degree from Yonsei University in Korea and a Master's degree and a Ph.D. degree from Univ. of Michigan and Georgia Tech, respectively, all in Electrical Engineering. During his Ph.D. studies at Georgia Tech, he was co-advised by Prof. James McClellan and Lance Kaplan and developed a direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation method called TOPS. TOPS (Test of Orthogonality of Projected Subspaces) was published in IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing and cited more than 150 times*  (in the top 3 percent of signal processing papers.)** 

After graduating, he worked at Samsung Thales, participating in shipborne tracking radar development. In 2007,  Dr. Yoon joined Prof. Moeness Amin's research team at Villanova University, USA as a postdoctoral research fellow. At Villanova, he did research on the signal processing for through-the-wall radars. His paper about removing the ground reflections is cited more than 150 times (in the top 2 percent of electrical engineering papers). In 2008, he presented a paper about compressive sensing in high-resolution radars at the SPIE conference and this paper is in the top 1 percent of electrical engineering papers.

Currently, Dr. Yoon is an associate professor in the Department of Defense System Engineering at Sejong University, Korea, where he directs the Advanced Radar System Laboratory (ARSL). Before joining Sejong University in Fall 2023, he held the positions of Vice President and Master Fellow at Hanwha Systems Company, a leading defense firm in Korea. Over his 19-year tenure at Hanwha Systems, he contributed to the development of radar technologies such as adaptive beamforming radar, UWB GPR (ground penetrating radar), and MIMO radar, often as a team leader. Dr. Yoon also served as an Editorial Board Member for 'Digital Signal Processing,' a SCI paper published by Elsevier. His research interests encompass radar signal processing, compressive sensing, joint radar and communication (JCR), and UWB signal processing.
