Martha A. Kim is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Columbia University's School of Engineering and Applied Science. She serves as a Member of the Data Science Institute, Center Co-Chair of the Center for Computing Systems for Data-Driven Science, and Chair of the Computer Engineering Program.
Professor Kim's research focuses on computer architecture with particular emphasis on the hardware-software interface. Her work develops tools and designs that help computer systems operate efficiently and intuitively, including database accelerators for energy-efficient queries, techniques for optimizing parallel software to better utilize hardware resources, and improving the versatility of specialized hardware accelerators. She leads the ARCADE Lab where she conducts research in computer architecture, parallel programming, compilers, and low-power computing.
Her publication record shows consistent output at top-tier conferences including ASPLOS, MICRO, MEMOCODE, ISLPED, DAC, DaMoN, CC, and CGO, with recent work spanning video transcoding in the cloud, pipelined dataflow circuits, thermal monitoring, and database acceleration.
Professor Kim has received several prestigious awards:
- 2013 Rodriguez Family Award
- 2015 Edward and Carole Kim Faculty Involvement Award
- 2013 NSF CAREER award
- 2016 Anita Borg Early Career Award
She currently advises three doctoral students (Martha Barker, Thomas Repetti, and Andrea Lottarini) and has previously graduated PhD students Melanie Kambadur (2016) and Lisa Wu (2014). Her research is supported by C-FAR, DARPA, Google, Intel, and NSF. Professor Kim teaches Fundamentals of Computer Systems, Computer Architecture, and Principles and Practice of Parallel Programming courses at Columbia University.
The ARCADE Lab provides opportunities for students to work on cutting-edge research in hardware-software interface optimization, with applications in energy efficiency, database acceleration, and parallel computing systems.
