Professor Sean (Seok-Chul) Kwon received his Ph.D. degree from Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, US in 2013; the M.S. degree from the University of Southern ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñin 2007; and the B.S. degree from Yonsei University, Seoul, South Korea in 2001.   He is also the alumnus of Seoul Science High School – National Academy for Gifted ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ.

Professor Sean Kwon is Tenured Professor and Associate Professor at ÃÛÌÒÓ°ÏñState University - Long Beach; and has been Chief Director/founder of Wireless Systems Evolution Laboratory (WiSE Lab), since Fall 2017.

He was with Intel Corporation in Silicon Valley, in particular, Next Generation and Standards Division in Communication and Devices Group in 2015 - 2017 working on next-generation Communication Standards, patents and the associated system design. 

He received offers for postdoctoral research at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and University of Southern ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ(USC);  conducted postdoctoral research under the supervision of a renowned scholar, Professor Andreas Molisch at Wireless Devices and Systems Group (WiDeS), USC in 2014 - 2015.   Dr. Kwon was with the R&D Institute of Pantech co., Ltd, Seoul, South Korea in 2001 to 2004, where he worked on CDMA common air interface focusing on layer-3 protocols.   He was involved in several projects/proposals such as the Aerospace Corporation project; DARPA project; US Army Research Lab project; NSF project; Department of Navy project; and six mobile-station projects for Motorola and Sprint, which were successfully on the market, in addition to several large-scale internal fundings.  His current research interests are in next-generation, i.e., 6th generation (6G) wireless system/network design and standards; application of machine learning and federated learning for wireless systems or digital signal processing; polarization diversity and multiplexing; body area network such as wearable computing and in-vivo communications; and reconfigurable wireless channel modeling.  In particular, he has a strong interest in applying artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and federated learning for wireless communication systems, digital signal processing and other research fields.

Professor Kwon has more than 50 peer-reviewed publications, patents and technical documents in industry standards; and several research and service awards including Intel invention Disclosure Awards, TPC Service Awards and 5 Best Paper Awards in IEEE conferences.
