Dan Keun Sung received the B.S. degree in Electronics Engineering from Seoul National University in 1975 and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical & Computer Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin, in 1982 and 1986, respectively.

From May 1977 to July 1980, he was a research engineer at the Electronics & Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) where he had been engaged in various projects including the development of an electronic switching system.

In 1986, he joined the faculty of the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) where he is currently a Professor with the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. He was Director of the Satellite Technology Research Center (SaTReC) of KAIST from 1996 to 1999. He is the Editor of the IEEE Communication Magazine. He is also the Division Editor of the Journal of Communications and Networks. He was Vice Chair of IEEE ICC 2002 Symposium on Global Service Portability & Infrastructure for Next Generation Virtual Home & Office Environments and Program Cochair of IEEE Globecom 2002 Symposium on Service Infrastructure for Virtual Enterprise Environments. He was also General Conference Chair of IEEE ICC 2005 and Technical Program Committee Vice-Chair of IEEE ICC 2005. His research interests include mobile communication systems & networks particularly in radio resource management, MAC, scheduling, and cross-layer problems, coexistence problems in both WLAN and WPAN, high speed networks, next generation IP based networks, traffic control in wireless & wireline networks, signaling networks, intelligent networks, performance & reliability of communication systems, and microsatellites.

He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering of Korea. He is a Senior Member of IEEE, a Member of IEICE and KICS. He is also a Member of Phi Kappa Phi and Tau Beta Pi. He was a recipient of the National Order of Merits, Dongbaek Medal in 1992, the Research Achievement Award in 1997, the MoMuc Paper Award in 1997, the Academic Excellent Award in 2000, the Best Paper Award at APCC2000, and This Month's Scientist Award by MOST and KOSEF in 2004.
