Dr. Jordan Kim

I’m Dr. Jordan Kim, a computer science researcher driven by curiosity and a real interest in problems that don’t give up their answers easily. My work sits where theory meets the messiness of real systems—algorithms, distributed computing, machine learning, the kind of stuff that looks clean on paper but behaves wildly in practice. That’s the part I enjoy: tracing the why behind complex behavior and turning that understanding into something others can build on.

When I’m not deep in code or research papers, I usually have a notebook nearby filled with half-formed ideas, odd questions, and the occasional breakthrough scribbled in the margins. I care a lot about clarity—whether I’m writing, teaching, or presenting—and I like helping people see complicated ideas start to make sense. Research can be slow and stubborn work, but the moments when everything clicks make it worth every hour.
