Staff Engineer (CL3), RF/Antenna Engineering
Advanced Antenna Lab · Mobile eXperience (MX) Division · Samsung Electronics, Suwon
I work where electromagnetics, materials and devices meet — from AI-assisted antenna design for next-generation mobile devices, to liquid-crystal RF components, printed optoelectronics and programmable surfaces across microwave, mmWave and optical bands.
Now at Samsung Electronics
Build technology that matters —
and rise by lifting others.
I want my work to leave a positive mark beyond the lab, and to grow by helping the people around me grow. If that resonates, I’d love to hear from you.
From molecular-level material design to antennas in real devices.
Full research overview →My work turns liquid crystals from display materials into field-programmable media for electronics and photonics, and now applies that electromagnetic intuition — together with AI/ML — to antenna engineering for mobile platforms.
