Hyesoon Kim (born 1974) is a South Korean-American computer engineer specializing in computer architecture, especially involving graphics processing units and their incorporation into heterogeneous computing systems.[1] She is a professor in the Georgia Tech School of Computer Science,[2] where she heads the High Performance Architecture Lab.[3][4]

Education and career

Kim was born in Daejeon in 1974. She was a student at the Daejeon Science High School for the Gifted, and then became an undergraduate student at KAIST in Daejon, graduating with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering in 1996. She continued for a master's degree in mechanical engineering at Seoul National University in 1998, and then worked in industry for two years at the Hyundai Motor Company,[5] performing research on car engines.[6]

Next, she went to the University of Texas at Austin for graduate study in electrical engineering, earning a master's degree in 2003 and completing her Ph.D. in 2007.[5] Her doctoral dissertation, Adaptive predication via compiler-microarchitecture cooperation, was supervised by Yale Patt.[5][7]

She joined the Georgia Tech faculty as an assistant professor in 2007,[1][4] and gained tenure there as an associate professor in 2013.[8] She also holds an affiliation as adjunct professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering.[4]

Recognition

Kim was named an IEEE Fellow, in the 2024 class of fellows, "for contributions to resource modeling and partitioning in heterogeneous computing systems".[4][9]
