I feel very fortunate to work with many self-motivated and talented engineers at Samsung. They help expand my horizons and foster my growth as a researcher. I will continue to devote myself to Samsung’s technological innovation in telecommunications.”

This prestigious annual award has been presented to Dr. Lee and his co-authors, Prof. Wonjae Shin (the first author) at Pusan University, Prof. Mojtaba Vaezi at Villanova University, Prof. David J.
