Last updated

Seok-Hee Hong is a Korean-Australian computer scientist known for her research in graph drawing [1] and graphical visualisation, [2] including on the effects of crossings and other features of graph drawings on human readability, on 1-planar graphs, and on the layout of transit maps. She is a professor of computer science and also a member of the Charles Perkins Center at the University of Sydney. [3]

Hong studied computer science and engineering at Ewha Womans University, earning bachelor's, master's, and Ph.D. degrees there. She came to Australia in 1999–2000 as a Korea Science and Engineering Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Newcastle, followed by another postdoctoral position at the University of Sydney, where she became a lecturer in 2001. She became a senior lecturer in 2006, Australian Research Fellow in 2008, associate professor in 2009, and was a finalist in Eureka Prize for Innovation in Computer Science in 2012, and ARC Future Fellow and full professor in 2013. She has also been a visiting researcher at many institutions in Canada, Japan, Taiwan, Italy, and (as a Humboldt Fellow) in Germany. [4]

She was named to the Australian Research Council College of Experts in 2016. [5]

She published 'Beyond Planar Graphs' in 2020. [6]
