Dr. Namgoong joined the University at Albany in the fall of 2018. Previously, he was with the University of Texas at Dallas, the University of Southern California, and Atheros Communications in California. He has served on the editorial boards of the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I – Regular Papers, the Journal of Signal Processing Systems, and the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II – Express Briefs. He is a recipient of the National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty CAREER Award. His research interests are in signal processing/communication systems and RF/analog circuits with particular focus on DSP-assisted analog/RF circuits and systems.
Research Interests
Dr. Namgoong's research is in analog/RF circuit design and signal processing systems. Specifically, he is interested in exploiting the digital signal processing capabilities of scaled process technologies to mitigate challenges in modern RF/analog circuits. He has led design efforts in both industry and academia in many wireless systems including UWB, MIMO WLAN, and GPS. Current research interests are on cognitive/software-defined radios, high-speed links, and sensor interface systems.
