Yonghwi Kim, Ph. D.

I am a postdoctoral researcher at Yonsei University, where I also earned my Ph.D. in EE/CS as a member of the intelligent networking lab. (INL). My research focuses on intelligent, machine learning-driven systems and low-complexity signal processing for next-generation wireless networks, covering both protocol design and physical-layer techniques.

My interests span radio resource management (RRM), PHY/MAC/RRC protocols, and emerging technologies such as full-duplex (FD) and future multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) systems. I solve practical communication problems through mathematical optimization, algorithmic modeling, and AI, and validate the solutions through proof-of-concept (PoC) prototypes and system-level simulations (SLS).

I received 1st prize in the IEEE ComSoc 4-Minute Thesis Competition, am a 5-time winner of the Samsung Humantech Paper Award, and have presented prototyping work at IEEE GLOBECOM 3 times. I hold five patents (including a U.S. patent) and have published in 4 top-tier journals, with one paper ranked in the top 0.4% of JCR.
