Seyeon Kim is currently an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science and Engineering department at Korea University. Previously, he was a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at Seoul National University (SNU) and later in the Computer Science department at the University of Colorado Boulder (USA). He received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology), Daejeon, Korea, in 2015, 2017, and 2022, respectively. His research interests include thermally reliable and energy-efficient mobile deep learning systems, neural network model compression, vertical/horizontal split computing for neural networks, and offloaded analytics for AR/XR/MR. He is the recipient of the Best Paper Award of ACM MobiSys 2021 for his groundbreaking work, zTT, which proposed the first application- and environment-aware DVFS with reinforcement learning to achieve zero thermal throttling in mobile systems.
Current research interest: Near-memory networking/computing, Thermally-reliable wireless networking, Real-time (volumetric) video streaming, AI-based cloud management
