Professor

Gyuyeong Kim is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Sungshin Women's University. Before joining Sungshin Women's University, he was a Research Professor at Korea University. He received his Ph.D. and B.S. in Computer Science from Korea University in 2020 and 2012, respectively. His research interests lie at the intersection of networking and systems, focusing on building high-performance soft-defined networked systems. During undergraduate, he developed KLUE, a lecture evaluation service for Korea University.
