    Kao-Yueh (Benny) Kuo received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan, in 2015, where his research focused on quantum communication and error correction. He subsequently accumulated over 12 years of experience in the communication chip design industry, bridging theoretical advances with practical implementations in high-performance communication systems.


    In 2019, he was appointed as a postdoctoral researcher at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Taiwan, where he continued his work on quantum communication and error correction, with an emphasis on developing efficient coding and decoding strategies. In 2024, he joined the University of Sheffield, UK, as a Research Associate in the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, contributing to research on advanced quantum coding techniques. In 2025, he was appointed as a faculty member in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Yuan Ze University, Taiwan.


    His research centers on classical and quantum communications, with a particular emphasis on coding theory and iterative decoding methodologies. His work aims to advance reliable and efficient information transmission, especially in quantum regimes, by developing practical algorithms that bridge theoretical limits and real-world implementations.
