Biography
Miryung Kim is a Professor and a Vice
Chair of Graduate Studies in UCLA Computer Science. She
directs Software Engineering and Analysis Laboratory. She helped define the new area
of Software Engineering for Data Intensive Computing
(SE4DA and SE4ML). She works on automated
testing and debugging for Apache Spark and
developer tools
for heterogeneous computing.
She conducted the first systematic study of refactoring
practices in industry and quantified rearchitecting
benefits at Microsoft using Windows version history.
She conducted the largest scale study of data
scientists in industry. Her group's Java
bytecode debloating JDebloat made a tech
transfer impact to Navy. She received her BS from KAIST and MS and PhD from University of Washington under the supervision of David Notkin. She was an Assistant Professor at the University of Texas at Austin, moved to UCLA as an Associate Professor with tenure in 2014, and was promoted to a Full Professor in 2019. She spent time as a visiting researcher at Microsoft Research. She produced 6 professors (Columbia, Purdue, two at Virginia Tech, etc). For her impact on nurturing the next generation of academics, she received the ACM SIGSOFT Influential Educator Award. She is a Program Co-Chair of ESEC/FSE 2022, one of top 2 conferences in SE. She is a Keynote Speaker at ASE 2019 and ISSTA 2022. She was a Distinguished Speaker at UIUC, UMN, and UC Irvine. She is an ACM Distinguished Member. Research: I work on software engineering for AI with focus on big data and heterogeneous computing.
Advising: My former PhD
students are professors at Columbia University (Bashakhi
Ray), Virginia Tech (Na Meng), Virginia Tech (Muhammad
Gulzar), and Purdue University (Tianyi Zhang). Awards and Honors: I have won ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Paper Award, and 10 Year Most Influential Paper Award from ICSME. I received an NSF CAREER award, a Microsoft Software Engineering Innovation Foundation Award, an IBM Jazz Innovation Award, a Googls Faculty Research Award, and an Okawa Foundation Research Award. I am a Humboldt Fellow from Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. Details on awards.
History: I graduated as
No. 1 among all students in KAIST and received the
Korean Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology
Award, the highest honor given to an undergraduate
student in Korea. Diversity: I am recognized for my impact on diversity and inclusion at UCLA. I have been a faculty-in-residence for 6 years. I received the Robert Stevensen Faculty in Residence Award and Faculty/Staff of the Year Award (given to 1 faculty in each year). I created Mommy Computer Science Camp, featured in PC Magazine.
