Summary
Sunwoo Lee is a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Computer Engineering at Inha University with a decade of experience bridging systems research and large-scale machine learning. His PhD from Northwestern and postdoc work at USC focused on communication-efficient federated learning and parallel training strategies, reflecting a consistent interest in scaling distributed ML. Prior industry and national-lab roles—Samsung Memory Solutions Lab, Fermilab, Argonne, and Berkeley Lab—show a track record of building high-performance I/O and parallel data systems for scientific and embedded applications. He combines academic rigor with hands-on engineering, having developed asynchronous I/O modules and parallel data aggregation software used in cosmology and high-energy physics projects. Based in Incheon, Sunwoo brings practical expertise in memory hierarchies and SSD-based storage servers to his research and teaching, often emphasizing communication- and I/O-efficiency across domains.
