My legal name is Junhyung Kim (김준형), but I usually go by Lyle. I am a fifth year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Rice University, advised by Prof. Anastasios Kyrillidis. I also work closely with Prof. César A. Uribe and Prof. Nai-Hui Chia.
Before joining Rice, I was a research professional at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business supervised by Prof. Panos Toulis.
I received bachelor’s degrees in Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Chicago in 2017. During my senior year at the college, I also worked with Prof. Mikael Kuusela under the supervision of Prof. Michael L. Stein.
In summer 2023, I worked as a visitng student researcher at MILA – Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute under the supervision of Prof. Gauthier Gidel and Prof. Ioannis Mitliagkas.
In summer 2022, I worked at Meta (Fundamental AI Research) as a research intern under the supervision of Dr. Aaron Defazio.
Here is my CV, and Google Scholar.
