Ban-Sok Shin received the Dipl.-Ing. (M.Sc.) and the Dr.-Ing. degree (Ph.D.) in Electrical Engineering/Information technology from the University of Bremen, Germany, in 2013 and 2020, respectively. From 2008 until 2009, he was a graduate exchange student at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology in Daejeon, South Korea. From 2013 until 2019, he was a Ph.D. candidate with the Department of Communications Engineering, University of Bremen, where he worked on distributed nonlinear estimation schemes using kernel methods. Since 2019, he has been a postdoctoral researcher in the Swarm Exploration Group at the Institute of Communications and Navigation of the German Aerospace Center, where he is currently working on seismic subsurface exploration using a multi-agent network. His research interests include (wave-based) imaging, distributed inference/estimation, machine learning, and their applications to sensor and multi-agent networks. Dr. Shin received the OHB Award for the best Ph.D. thesis in the faculty of Electrical Engineering of the University of Bremen in 2021.
