The UMBC CSEE Seminar Series Presents

Online Learning for Cognitive Radios,
Power Grids, and Brain Imaging

Dr. Seung-Jun Kim
Department of CSEE, UMBC

1-2pm, Friday, 23 October 2015, ITE 325b

With the advent of big data era with pervasive sensors and powerful computational intelligence techniques, application of data-driven techniques to various domains is becoming quite popular. In this talk, some of our recent research activities in the signal processing and smart systems lab (SPSS) will be sampled. In particular, it will be highlighted how the online learning techniques can benefit different applications in the wireless communication, power systems, and medical imaging areas.

Seung-Jun Kim received his B.S. and M.S. degrees from Seoul National University in Seoul, Korea, and his Ph.D. from the University of California at Santa Barbara in 2005, all in electrical engineering. From 2005 to 2008, he worked for NEC Laboratories America in Princeton, New Jersey. He was with the University of Minnesota during 2008-2014, where his final title was Research Associate Professor. In August 2014, he joined the CSEE department at UMBC. Dr. Kim’s research interests include statistical signal processing, optimization, and machine learning, with applications to wireless communication and networking, future power systems, and big data analytics.
