Prof. Chan-Byoung Chae and Mr. Hanju Yoo - Communication systems
Date: - Location: Eurecom
Abstract: This talk will begin with a brief introduction to Yonsei University and then present an overview of its recent research efforts in 6G and cloud-based wireless prototyping. Since 2011, the Yonsei team has pioneered a range of hardware-oriented research topics, including full-duplex radios, millimeter-wave lens MIMO, wireless VR and haptic communications, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS), magnetic MIMO, and semantic communications. Building on these foundational works, recent projects have expanded toward vRAN/ORAN architectures, 6G/Cloud convergence, and AI-empowered extremely large MIMO (AI-E-MIMO). The talk will conclude with a discussion of ongoing efforts and potential collaboration models for future 6G system development. Bio: Chan-Byoung Chae is an Underwood Distinguished Professor and the Lee Youn Jae Endowed Chair Professor at Yonsei University, Seoul South Korea. Before joining Yonsei, he was with Bell Labs, Alcatel-Lucent, Murray Hill, NJ, USA, from 2009 to 2011, as a Member of Technical Staff, and Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA, from 2008 to 2009, as a Postdoctoral Fellow and Lecturer. He received his Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering from The University of Texas at Austin (UT), USA in 2008. Prior to joining UT, he was a Research Engineer at the Telecommunications R&D Center, Samsung Electronics, Suwon, South Korea, from 2001 to 2005. Dr. Chae was a recipient/co-recipient of the Ministry of Education Award in 2024, the KICS Haedong Scholar Award in 2023, the CES Innovation Award in 2023, the IEEE ICC Best Demo Award in 2022, the IEEE WCNC Best Demo Award in 2020, the Best Young Engineer Award from the National Academy of Engineering of Korea (NAEK) in 2019, the IEEE DySPAN Best Demo Award in 2018, the IEEE/KICS Journal of Communications and Networks Best Paper Award in 2018, the IEEE INFOCOM Best Demo Award in 2015, the IEIE/IEEE Joint Award for Young IT Engineer of the Year in 2014, the KICS Haedong Young Scholar Award in 2013, the IEEE Signal Processing Magazine Best Paper Award in 2013, the IEEE ComSoc AP Outstanding Young Researcher Award in 2012, and the IEEE VTS Dan. E. Noble Fellowship Award in 2008. Dr. Chae has held several editorial positions, including Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Trans. on Molecular, Biological, and Multi-Scale Communications, Senior Editor of the IEEE Wireless Communications Letters, and Editor of the IEEE Communications Magazine, IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, and IEEE Wireless Communications Letters. He was an IEEE ComSoc Distinguished Lecturer from 2020 to 2023 and is an IEEE VTS Distinguished Lecturer from 2024 to 2025. He is an elected member of the National Academy of Engineering of Korea. + Hanju Yoo is received the B.S. degree with highest honors from the School of Integrated Technology, College of Engineering, Yonsei University, in 2021, where he is currently pursuing the Ph.D. degree. His research interests include deep neural networks for computer vision, learned image compression, semantic communications/deep joint source-channel coding, and vision transformer architecture.
