Education and career

Kim was born in Daejeon. 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. She continued for a master's degree in mechanical engineering at Seoul National University, 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 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]
