About

I am Hyeonho Shin (신현호), a Ph.D. student in the School of Electrical Engineering at KAIST, advised by Prof. Song Min Kim in the SMILE Lab. I build battery-free and extremely low-power sensing systems that bring always-on, privacy-preserving perception to everyday spaces, combining RFID-based sensing with on-device AI. My work on extremely low-resolution RFID vision (Mosaic) appeared at ACM/IEEE IPSN 2023 and ACM Transactions on Sensor Networks, and is protected by U.S. and Korean patents.
