Kangyoon Lee

I am a first-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Johns Hopkins University. My long-term vision is to enable everyone to independently choose, customize, and deploy AI. To work toward this goal, I am interested in understanding AI workloads and optimizing the systems and resources that support them.

Specifically, I study communication in distributed AI systems, including the origins of traffic bursts during collective operations, with the goal of informing more effective scheduling and load balancing. Before joining JHU, I was an AI Research Intern at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST). I received my B.Eng. in Information and Communications Engineering from Hankuk University of Foreign Studies in 2025.
