Biography

Dr. Jungmin Son (Jay) is a software development engineer at Amazon Web Services (AWS). He was a Postdoctoral Researcher with the Cloud Computing and Distributed Systems (CLOUDS) Laboratory at the University of Melbourne, Australia. He received Ph.D. and Master of Information Technology degrees from the University of Melbourne in 2018 and 2013 respectively. Before moving to Melbourne, he worked in Samsung Electronics for four years as a software engineer after completing B.Eng. at Ajou University, South Korea. He is a recipient of 2018 IEEE TCSC Outstanding Ph.D Dissertation Award that recognizes an outstanding PhD thesis in the field of the scalable computing with combined theory and practice and in-depth technical contributions.
