Dong Jae Kim

Dong Jae Kim is an Assistant Professor at the School of Computing, DePaul University, Chicago, USA. His research focuses on enhancing software quality and maintainability through techniques like software testing, refactoring, log analysis, and applications of deep learning and large language models (LLMs) in software engineering.

• Education: Ph.D. in Computer Science and Software Engineering (2024) from Concordia University, Canada; B.S. in Science (2016) from McGill University, Canada.

Research Interests include software debugging, fault localization, LLM-driven software engineering, software refactoring, mining software repositories, and AI-driven tools for software maintenance. Recent work benchmarks LLM capabilities on software engineering tasks, such as log parsing and code generation.

Advising involves supervising students like Aashish Subramaniam, Jesus Valadez (DePaul), and Zehao Wang, Feng Lin (Concordia). He leads the SABR Lab (Software Analysis, Automation, Benchmarking, Re-engineering) at DePaul, which develops methodologies to improve modern software systems' quality and reliability.
