Summary
Dongwoo Kim is a wireless systems integration engineer with 11 years of experience designing RF, mmWave radar, and embedded wireless systems across industry and academia. He has translated cutting-edge research on wireless data and power transfer for brain implants into portable, low-power ZYNQ-based systems and led FPGA bring-up and real-time algorithm development for Samsung Semiconductor and Apple. His background includes a PhD from Seoul National University where he built real-time near-field MIMO radar imagers and Ku-band RF subsystems for NATO projects, demonstrating deep hands-on expertise from PCB and HDL design to system-level validation. Dongwoo excels at bridging research and product engineering—bringing complex SoC and radar concepts into live demonstrations and pre-/post-silicon validation environments. Based in San Diego, he is concurrently expanding software depth via an online MS in Computer Science at Georgia Tech, reflecting a rare mix of RF hardware mastery and modern software-driven system integration. Notably, his work has supported neurosurgical visualization through real-time ECoG interfaces, highlighting an impactful intersection of RF engineering and biomedical applications.
