Young-Han Kim is an
assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer
Engineering at the University of California, San Diego. He received
his B.S. degree with honors in Electrical Engineering from Seoul
National University, Korea, in 1996, where he was a recipient of the
General Electric Foundation Scholarship. After a three-and-half-year
stint as a software architect at Tong Yang Systems, Seoul, Korea,
working on several industry projects such as developing the
communication infrastructure for then newly opening Incheon
International Airport of Korea, he resumed his graduate studies at
Stanford University, Stanford, CA, and received his Ph.D. degree in
Electrical Engineering (M.S. degrees in Statistics and Electrical
Engineering) in 2006. Prof. Kim's research primarily focuses on
network information theory and the role of feedback in communication
networks. More broadly, he is interested in statistical signal
processing and information theory, with applications in communication,
control, computation, networking, data compression, and learning. (CV) Research Interests
