Dr. Kim joined to the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at North Carolina Central University, Durham, NC, USA in August 2010. He received Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from the University of Texas at Dallas, Richardson, TX, USA in May 2010 under the supervisions of Dr. Ding-Zhu Du and Dr. Weili Wu. He received M.S. degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Hanyang University, South Korea in Feb. 2005 under the supervision of Dr. Heekuck Oh and B.S. degree in Electronic and Computer Engineering from Hanyang University, Ansan, South Korea in Feb. 2003.

His research interests include

1. algorithm; approximation algorithm design and analysis, combinatroic optimization,
2. networking; wireless networks, sensor networks, adhoc networks, cognitive radio networks, smart grid communication,
3. mobile computing; data mule (ferry) and mobile node (drone) trajectory control,
4. data management; social networking, big data, and
5. security; network security, applied cryptograph, and cyber security.

Most of the undergraduate and graduate students who worked with him received job/intership offers from the best companies such as IBM, Cisco, NetApp, SAS, and NVIDIA.
