Welcome to GANGUK HWANG's homepage
GANGUK HWANG's Homepage
I received my B.S., M.S., and Ph. D. degrees in Mathematics (Applied Probability) from
Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology
(KAIST), Daejeon, Republic of Korea, in 1991, 1993 and 1997, respectively.
From February 1997 to March 2000, I was with
Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), Daejeon, Republic of Korea,
where I was involved in developing ATM-based access node systems and MPLS systems.
From March 2000 to February 2002, I was a visiting scholar at the
Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering,
University of Missouri - Kansas City.
Since March 2002, I have been with the
Department of Mathematical Sciences
(formerly, Division of Applied Mathematics) and Telecommunication Engineering Program
at KAIST, where I am currently a Professor.
From August 2010 to July 2011, I had my sabbatical leave at the
Department of Electrical Engineering,
University of Washington, Seattle.
My research interests include
teletraffic theory and performance evaluation of communication systems,
quality of service provisioning for wired/wireless communication networks
and cross-layer design for wireless networks.
