I am a PhD student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Arizona State University. I work on next-generation wireless networks and how AI can rethink their design and optimization. I’m advised by Prof. Ahmed Alkhateeb. I am a recipient of the Korean Government Scholarship Program (KGSP) (NIIED).

My research focuses on practical, data-driven wireless system design—from PHY-layer signal processing and prototyping to learning-based spectrum/network intelligence. I work on representation learning and foundation models for wireless signals, as well as system and protocol design that connects algorithms to deployable implementations and communication standardization.

Current projects include:

  • Data-driven wireless systems and foundation models for wireless signals
  • Massive MIMO design under practical overhead constraints
  • Integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) for practical systems

Prior to joining ASU, I worked as a network engineer at SK Telecom. I have collaborated with Prof. Jeonghun Park and Prof. Junil Choi. I received my M.S. in Electrical Engineering (2023) from KAIST and my B.S. in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (Hons., 2021) from Yonsei University.
