About Me [long version]

I am a Software Engineer at Uber. I received my PhD in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan in 2022. I enjoy building networking, mobile, edge-computing, and of course, distributed computers systems.

I began to work with my rock star co-advisor, Prof. Brian Noble in 2019 after Prof. Jason Flinn moved to Facebook.
By courtesy of my co-advisor, Prof. Jason Flinn, I moved to University of Michigan at Ann Arbor in 2016, after the mournful loss of my formal advisor, Prof. Karsten Schwan.

I received B.S. in Computer Science at Georgia Institute of Technology in 2015. Right after the graduation, I joined a journey of Ph.D. at Georgia Institute of Technology in 2015. During the college, I involved in mobile and edge researches under the guidance of Dr. Minsung Jang and Prof. Karsten Schwan at CERCS. Before joining CERCS, I focused on mobile network measurement research under the guidance of Prof. Nick Feamster at GT-NOISE. Prior to the college, I attended high school named Allen Academy, College Station, Texas, while concurrently taking classes at Texas A&M University as the high-school enrichment program, in which I learned discrete math from Prof. Hyunyoung Lee and C++ from Dr. Teresa Leyk. During adolescence, I focused on networking protocols at routing-level and was ceritified as CCIE #25158 at 2009.

I go by Joseph, though my "official" name is HyunJong (현종). Non-native Koreans, including my advisors, often misprounce my Korean name XD, so let's all agree with calling me Joseph.
