Research Experience
  • Serves as a researcher or leader in the Information and Intelligence Laboratory at the Department of Electrical Engineering, POSTECH; involved in multiple research projects, including but not limited to: using visual-language models for edge-server cooperative inference, hierarchical qubit-merging transformers for quantum error correction, DRAM ECC and reliability enhancement for high-reliability systems, etc.
Background
  • Research interests include the quantification and transmission of information and intelligence, finding fundamental limits, optimal designs, and principled practical implementations of information systems; professional fields involve information theory, coding theory, (convex) optimization, and learning theory.
Miscellany
  • Interested in graduate students/interns/postdocs; organized the Workshop on AI-Native Communications at POSTECH
