Sang Jin Hong

Biography

Dr. Hong received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Texas at Dallas where his research focuses on virtual optical network design in multi-domain optical networks with Dr. Jason Jue and his M.S. in Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) at the University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida in 2009. He worked for Electronics and Telecom-Communications Research Institute (ETRI) which is Korea government research institute as a Research Engineer. He also worked for Samsung Electronics and SKC&C as a Software Engineer. His research is exploring a broad range of research problems related to virtual optical networks (VONs) over flexible-grid multi-domain optical networks such as survivability, security, and provisioning. He is teaching Basic Computer Skills, Database Concepts and Programming, Operating Systems, and Algorithms and Data Structures at Saint Leo University. He currently has one journal publication in IEEE/OSA Journal of Optical Communications and Networking, and five conference publications including IEEE ICC and IEEE Globecom. He is a member of the IEEE and a member of the IEEE Communications Society.
