Suyeon Lee

BIography (Fall'24)

Suyeon Lee is a third-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Georgia Institute of Technology, advised by Ada Gavrilovska.

Her research interests are general control planes of distributed systems to accelerate large-scale applications, focusing on the intersection of networking/interconnect and memory subsystems. Recent works include disaggregated memory systems, near-data/memory computing, high-performance communication, and CXL. Additionally, she does Linux kernel programming to adopt emerging technology upstream. Her research is supported by the Kwanjeong Study Abroad Fellowship and the Center for Research into Novel Compute Hierarchies (CRNCH) Fellowship.

She is currently a full-time research intern at SK Hynix, a graduate research assistant at Georgia Tech, and a research scholar at the SRC Research Scholars Program. Previously, she worked as a part-time research intern at Google, a full-time software architect intern at Intel Corporation, and worked over a year as a research associate intern at Hewlett Packard Enterprise. She obtained a B.S. and M.S. degrees from Sogang University, South Korea, advised by Sungyong Park.
