Geon-Woo Kim

Hi there! I’m Geon-Woo Kim. I’m a Ph.D. student at UT Austin working under the guidance of Prof. Aditya Akella. I received my Bachelor’s degree from Seoul National University, where I was advised by Prof. Byung-Gon Chun. My research interests lie in systems for machine learning, with a recent focus on tackling the challenges of large-scale model training and inference. Prior to beginning my Ph.D. program, I had the pleasure of working as a software engineer at Viva Republica, a startup that operates one of South Korea’s largest fintech services.
