PhD Student, Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU), Korea

I am a PhD student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University, advised by Prof. Kae Won Choi. My research broadly spans wireless communications, communication networks, and AI for future networked systems. I am currently interested in questions around AI-RAN, open architectures, and intelligent approaches to next-generation communications.
