Sowoong Kim

Sowoong Kim

Iโ€™m a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science and Engineering at Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), advised by Professor Woongki Baek. My research focuses on systems and software for high-performance and efficient generative AI, including on-device inference, with additional interests in computer security. I received a B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering with a minor in Electrical Engineering from UNIST.
