• About my research

  Since joining the company, I have been involved in tasks related to RAN. Through my research, such as optimizing the coverage of a small cell region, I have experienced firsthand how users utilize the network.

  On the other hand, in research, I tend to think more about technical specifications. However, even in such cases, I make a conscious effort to always consider things from the user's perspective.

  As we move into the 5G and 6G era, I believe that there will be an increase in innovative services and network usage that we have never experienced before. I am conducting research and development in order to bring these advancements into commercial services, and contribute to the evolution of the telecommunications industry.
