Song Noh received the B.S. in electrical engineering from Soongsil University, Seoul, Korea, in 2008, followed by the M.S. degree from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Daejeon, Korea, in 2010. He received the Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering at Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN. From 2015 to 2018, he held the position of System Engineer in the Next Generation and Standards (NGS) division at Intel, Hillsboro, OR, USA. Since 2018, he has been with the Department of Information Telecommunication Engineering at Incheon National University, Incheon, Korea. His research interests include the design of intelligent communication systems and adaptive signal processing for wireless communications.

He, along with co-authors, received the Communication Theory Symposium Best Paper Award at the 2014 Global Communication Conference (Globecom) and the Silver prize in the 21st HumanTech Paper Contest sponsored by Samsung in 2015. Additionally, he was recognized as an exemplary reviewer of the IEEE Transactions on Communications in 2015 and received Intel NGS and Intel WCR divisional awards in 2017.
