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. However, I think I can be
available for work from January, 1993, since I plan to defend my thesis
in early January, 1993. 

My major area is Digital Signal Processing. Thus, I have taken all courses
available related to DSP including multi-dimensional signal processing and
spatial array processing. 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. While primarily involved with research in VLSI
implementation of recursive digital filters based on optimal synchronous
multiprocessor systems, I am interested in all kinds of implementations
of digital signal processing algorithms and algorithm development for
implementation. 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.

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
