Education

  1. PhD Artificial Intelligence Convergence

    Pukyong National University, Korea
    A thesis investigating the application of wireless optical communication technologies for the advancement of Machine Learning-augmented Underwater Internet of Things. The thesis focused on exploring the possibility of using error correcting code in underwater optical communication (UWOC), developing and evaluating the performance of a multi-hop underwater wireless sensor network (UWSN), designing a prototype that utilizes relay-based diversity gain to enhance UWOC, and using data from IMU sensors to monitor the movement of aquaculture and predict the acceleration state of the target body using machine learning models. The research was conducted under the guidance of Prof Wan-Young Chung, who is ranked among the Top 2% Scientists Worldwide 2023 by Stanford University . I have delivered presentations at two international conferences, and the findings from these presentations have been published in four SCIE IEEE journals.

Best Excellent Paper Award
The Korea Institude of Convergence Signal Processing ∙ November 2021
We investigated the software implementation of the BCH (31,16) error correcting code for a noisy underwater wireless communication link. The encoding and decoding modules have been developed on a compact microcontroller unit (ATMEGA128A) to support applications on small mobile platforms. The system demonstrated exemplary results in terms of packet success rate and bit error rate when operating in turbid water and under high intensity surrounding light conditions.

KICSP conference ∙ December 2023

Abstract:

  • Future communication systems face a significant demand for high capacity, dynamic bandwidth, and diverse traffic. To meet these challenges, communication networks have evolved in complexity, requiring innovative design methods and monitoring techniques. This study concentrates on implementing an optical wireless communications (OWC) system utilizing visible light communications (VLC) technology. The proposed system undergoes testing in various scenarios, with variations in transmission parameters, within an indoor VLC model. The evaluation of bit error rate (BER) is conducted at different locations. Experimental findings confirm that BER is highly affected by variations in parameters such as distance and intensity of light. Using different machine learning (ML) models, namely Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), the system’s performance is estimated in terms of optimal and degrading performance. Notably, the LSTM model achieved an impressive accuracy rate of approximately 98.89% in detecting the system’s performance when applied to an untrained dataset.
