About Me
I am a Ph.D student in UMass Amherst Computer Science, working in CIIR with my advisor W. Bruce Croft on the intersection of information retrieval (IR) and human-computer interaction (HCI) research.
I am planning to graduate from UMass with Ph.D degree next summer, and on the market for both academic and industry positions now. You can email me at jykim at cs dot umass dot edu, read my CV, research statement and teaching statement.
