Research summary
AI-generated

Byung Wook Kim works on optical and wireless communication systems, including free-space optical (laser-based) links between satellites and the ground, and communication methods that use screens and cameras to exchange data. Much of the recent work applies deep learning and machine learning techniques to improve these systems, such as reducing pointing errors in laser links, detecting objects in satellite images, and enhancing image and signal quality. The research also extends to applying similar deep learning methods to biometric recognition (finger vein identification) and medical imaging.
