Dear Prospective Employer in Atlanta area:

I am seeking an R&D position in DSP applications in Atlanta area.  I
expect to receive a Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from the
Georgia Institute of Technology in March, 1993. 

My major area is Digital Signal Processing. More specifically, my
original area of research was digital speech coding, but after a year I
returned to my primary interest area of VLSI signal processing. I am
currently employed as a graduate research assistant at Georgia Tech
under the direction of my advisor, Dr. Thomas P. Barnwell, III. My
thesis research has been to develop a design synthesis environment for
recursive DSP algorithms by combining an optimal synchronous
multiprocessor scheduler with a silicon compiler (LAGER). The
environment automatically generates a `good' VLSI layout for a given
input algorithm in the sense of performance and chip area. In this
research, by applying the environment, I have generated a set of
complete VLSI layouts (CIF files) for a second order and twelfth order
IIR filters. The generated layouts were tested with IRSIM (CMOS switch
level simulator).  Most of my research has been with Fortran 77, Unix C
and the LAGER system (silicon compiler), but I have used Mathematica,
and to a lesser extent, Matlab. 

In the future, I would like to work in the area of application specific
hardware implementations of digital signal processing algorithms.
Especially, I am interested in the real-time implementation of digital
speech processing systems, since I have a strong background in the
speech signals. 

Before coming to Georgia Tech to pursue a Ph.D., I was employed as a
research engineer at PISCO System, Seoul, Korea. At PISCO System, I was
involved with the design of speech synthesis system using
general-purpose microprocessors. While I was pursuing my M.S. degree in
Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea, my area of specialization was
Communication Systems including FM detector design.  As my background
and education are sufficiently broad, I am fairly flexible. 

Enclosed is my resume. Please contact me at your earliest convenience to
schedule an interview, or to obtain additional information.  I look
forward to hearing from you. 
                                    
                                       Sincerely yours,

                                         Hyeong-Kyo Kim
