Hi, I am Yongjeong Oh

I am a Research Fellow at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), working with Prof. Jihong Park.

I received my Ph.D. and M.S. in Electrical Engineering from Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), under the supervision of Prof. Yo-Seb Jeon. Before that, I received my B.S. in Electronics Engineering from Pusan National University (PNU).

My research interests lie at the intersection of wireless communications and deep learning. In particular, I am interested in the following topics:
