The recent work encompasses both experimental and theoretical work on the design of multicore/SoC microarchitectures, multimedia systems, memory fusion and energy-aware high performance computing, and he is working at the intersection of cutting-edge technologies in reliable nanosystem designs and investigating morphable and evolvable architectures, growing out of a diverse spectrum of environments - from those in the high-end server space to those in the embedded domain. He achieved theoretical advances on the interplay between performance, energy, and reliability in deep-submicron designs, and developed new memory and interconnect solutions. He designed effective fault-tolerant techniques and morphable systems for handling transient and permanent errors in SoC/NoC architectures This research has an influence on the design of next generation computer architectures, which foster new research directions and direct contributions to several areas of mobile computing, embedded systems and multicore design. They are expected to be the main design paradigm for future information technology.
Dr. Kim is an assistant professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He received his B.S. degree from Seoul National University in electrical engineering in 1990, the M.S. degree in electrical engineering and his Ph.D. degree in computer science and engineering from The Pennsylvania State University in 2001 and 2007, respectively. He joined the faculty at the Georgia Institute of Technology in August 2007. Before joining The Pennsylvania State University, he had worked at LG Electronics and Neopoint Inc., and participated in the development of handheld devices/PDA, CDMA(IS-95A/B and J-STD-008) cellular phone and wireless internet platform. He is a member of IEEE and ACM/SIGARCH. He served as a technical referee for numerous journals and conferences including TPDS (IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems), TVLSI and TC. Always thankful for being able to wake up everyday and be in company of someone else.
