Miryung Kim is a Professor and Vice Chair of Graduate Studies in UCLA’s Computer Science Department. Recognizing an industry-wide shift toward data-intensive software engineering, she led early research on the role of data scientists in software teams. Her current research focuses on developer tools for data and compute-intensive systems, addressing scale and complexity challenges that traditional debugging and testing cannot meet. Her research established the significance of code clones in software evolution, demonstrating how recurring patterns can automate bug fixes and refactoring—insights that inform today’s AI-driven developer tools. For these contributions to data-driven software analytics, she received the IEEE TCSE New Directions Award. She was honored with the ACM SIGSOFT Influential Educator Award; eight of her former students and postdocs now hold faculty positions at institutions such as Columbia, Purdue, and Virginia Tech. She served as Program Co-Chair of FSE, delivered keynotes at ASE and ISSTA, and is currently an Amazon Scholar at AWS.
