Nam Sung Kim |
I am the
W.J. ‘Jerry’ Sanders III – Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. Endowed Chair
Professor at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign and a fellow of
both ACM and IEEE. From 2018 to 2020, I was on leave to lead the development
of next-generation DRAM products which
will change the computing paradigm at a major memory manufacturing company as
a Sr. Vice President. Prior to joining the University of Illinois in the fall
of 2015, I was an associate professor at the University of Wisconsin, Madison
where I was early-tenured in 2013. My interdisciplinary research incorporates
device, circuit, architecture, and software for power-efficient computing. My
research has been supported by National Science Foundation (NSF),
Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC), Defense Advanced Research Project
Agency (DARPA), BAE Systems, AMD, IBM, Samsung, and Microsoft. Prior to
joining the University of Wisconsin, Madison, I was a senior research
scientist at Intel from 2004 to 2008, where I conducted research in power-efficient
digital circuit and process architecture. I have published more than 200
refereed articles to highly selective conferences and journals in the field
of digital circuit, processor architecture, and computer-aided design. The
top three most frequently cited papers have more than 4500 citations and the
total number of citations of all his papers exceeds 12000. I was a recipient
of the IEEE Design Automation Conference (DAC) Student Design Contest Award
in 2001, Intel Fellowship in 2002, the IEEE International Symposium on
Microarchitecture (MICRO) Best Paper Award in 2003, NSF CAREER Award in 2010,
IBM Faculty Award in 2011 and 2012, the University of Wisconsin Villas
Associates Award in 2015, ACM/IEEE Most Influential International Symposium
on Computer Architecture (ISCA) Paper Award in 2017, and IEEE/ACM
International Symposium on Microarchitecture (MICRO) Test of Time Award,
2021. I am a hall of fame member of all three major computer architecture
conferences, IEEE International Symposium on High-Performance Computer
Architecture (HPCA), MICRO, and ISCA. I earned a PhD degree in Computer
Science and Engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and
Master and Bachelor degrees in Electrical Engineering from the Korea Advanced
Institute of Science and Technology. |
