IEEE-Style Biography:

(Eric) Hyeon-Seok Rou [Member, IEEE] received the B.Sc. degree in electrical and computer engineering from Jacobs University Bremen (now Constructor University Bremen), Germany, in 2021, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Constructor University Bremen in 2024. He is currently a Research Assistant Professor with the School of Electrical Engineering, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Daejeon, South Korea, under the Brain Pool Program of the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF). From 2025 to 2026, he was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow and Lecturer with the School of Computer Science and Engineering, Constructor University Bremen.

His research interests include next-generation (B5G, 6G) wireless systems, affine frequency division multiplexing (AFDM), integrated sensing and communications (ISAC), distributed integrated sensing, communications, and computing (ISCC), over-the-air computing (AirComp),  high-mobility communications, multi-dimensional sparse modulation, V2X, and quantum-accelerated optimisation.

In 2026, he was selected as a Brain Pool Fellow by the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF). He has served as the chapter representative of The Korean Scientists and Engineers Association in the FRG (VeKNI e.V.) since 2021, and was the German delegate to the Young Professionals Forum (YPF) at the 3rd World Congress of Korean Scientists and Engineers in South Korea, 2025. He was a visiting researcher at the Intelligent Communications Systems Laboratory (ICL) at KAIST in 2023, and received the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Europe Research Scholarship Award in 2022. He also contributes to the IEEE Standards Association P3383 Working Group on Performance Metrics for Integrated Sensing and Communication.
