Taeho Kim

I am an applied scientist at Amazon Web Services. I worked with my advisor, Professor Sangtae Ha, in the Internet Systems Lab (ISL). My scholarly and creative works have been shown at international conferences, such as IEEE, ACM, and more. I received a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Engineering from Korea University in 2018, a Master of Science in Computer Science from the University of Colorado Boulder in 2022, and a Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science from the University of Colorado Boulder in 2024. My research interests are Deep Learning, Mobile Computing, the Internet of Things, and Healthcare.
