Short Bio

KyoungSoo Park is a professor in the school of electrical engineering at KAIST. He received his B.S. degree in computer science from Seoul National University in 1997, and his M.A. (in 2004) and Ph.D. (in 2007) degrees in computer science from Princeton University. After his Ph.D., he worked as associate research scholar at Princeton University from 2007 to 2008 and worked as assistant professor in the computer science department at University of Pittsburgh. In 2007, he co-founded CoBlitz, Inc. (acquired by Verivue, Inc. in 2010, and later acquired by Akamai,Inc. in 2012) which provides highly scalable and reliable content distribution services to ISPs and telcos.

Research Interest

My research interests focus on the design and implementation of novel networked computing systems. We conduct research on system design principles that fundamentally improve the scalability, reliability, security, and performance of networked systems. As part of research, we have developed a number of practical systems - a job scheduler for fast execution of distibuted deep learning training, a highly-efficient user-level TCP stack, a reusable middlebox networking stack, network functions/stacks that harness programmable I/O devices, scalable content distribution systems (CDNs), and Internet infrastructure services, and so on.I am open to exploring various interesting issues in the area of computer systems and networking.
