Kue S. Chun is a research engineer in the Digital Communications Branch at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field in Cleveland, Ohio. His research interests are advanced modulation, coding, and access methods for aeronautical satellite communications links supporting the Advanced Communications for Air Traffic Management (AC/ATM) Project. He is currently responsible for conducting aviation cellular communications technology research supporting the WINCOMM Project.

Mr. Chun previously worked as a lead engineer in intermittent combustion engine health monitoring and control for 7 years and in optical diagnostics of gas turbine engines for 8 years. For the AC/ATM Project, he led a study on wideband CDMA (code division multiple access) for a SATCOM (satellite communication)-based avionics network through a grant with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He also conducted investigations through a grant with Purdue University on an interference suppression and mitigation scheme for direct-sequence spread spectrum (DS–SS) communications entitled “Robust Satellite Communications for Air Traffic Control.” Mr Chun has investigated advanced robust timing synchronization schemes through a grant from Cleveland State University.
