Hi, I’m Seong-Joon Park, a Staff Engineer at Samsung Electronics. I was a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Institute of Artificial Intelligence at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) hosted by Prof. Yongjune Kim . I received Ph.D. and M.S. degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Seoul National University (SNU) , where I was advised by Prof. Jong-Seon No .

My research focuses on information theory, channel coding, machine learning, quantum error correction, and quantum information theory.

  • AI/ML-based decoders for error-correcting codes
  • Quantum error correction and quantum information theory
  • Channel coding for wireless communication and memory systems
