Namyoon Lee is an Associate Professor of the Electrical Engineering Department at Korea University. He received his Ph. D. in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin in 2014. He also received his M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from KAIST, Daejeon in 2008 and B.E. degree from Korea University, Seoul, Korea in 2006. From February 2008 to June 2011, he was with Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT) in Korea, where he designed next generation wireless communication systems and involved standardization activities of the 3GPP LTE-A.

He was also with Nokia Research Center at Berkeley as a Senior Researcher, where he participated in the design of future WLAN systems (e.g., IEEE 802.11ax and 802.11ay) from December 2014 to May 2015. He was with Wireless Communications Research (WCR) at Intel Labs, Santa Clara, CA from May 2015 to Feb. 2016. His primal research interest is to develop and analyze future wireless communication systems using tools including multi-antenna network information theory, stochastic geometry, and machine learning algorithms.

Mr. Lee was a recipient of the 2016 IEEE ComSoc Asia-Pacific Outstanding Young Researcher Award, the 2009 Samsung Best Paper Award, the 2014 Student Best Paper Award (IEEE Seoul Section), and the Recognition Award in Intel Labs 2015. He was also an Exemplary Reviewer for IEEE Wireless Communications Letters in both 2013 and 2015. He also was awarded several fellowships, including the Korea Government Fellowship from 2006 to 2007; the Kwanjeong Educational Foundation Fellowship in 2011-2014; and Microelectronics and Computer Development (MCD) Fellowship in 2012.
