I am leading Planning & Strategy of IBM Ubiquitous Computing Laboratory (UCL) and Korea Software Solutions Laboratory (KSSL). Partially I am also engaged in RFID/S&A (sensors and actuators) solution business of UCL. In year 2005, I received my Ph.D degree from School of Computer Science and Engineering, Seoul National University, and a BS and a MS degree from Dept. of Computer Engineering, Seoul National University, in 1996 and 1998 respectively. My research interests include:

• RFID/S&A-integrated solution development methodology
• Communication protocol design for sensor networks
• Scheduling/caching disciplines in data broadcasting
• Interactive television (past)
• Call admission control in mobile networks (past)
