Welcome to Jagun Kwon’s Homepage

Brief Bio:

I am a Research Associate and Teaching Fellow (IEP: Integrated Engineering Programme) in the Department of Computer Science and an Honorary Lecturer in the Department of Information Studies, teaching programming and database modules at University College London (UCL), University of London.

Before joining UCL at the end of June 2009, I was a Senior Engineer at Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. South Korea from December 2005.

I received my PhD in Computer Science from the University of York in the area of high integrity real-time programming languages and Java, and BSc (Hons) in Computing for Industry from Northumbria University.

Currently serving as a Committee Member for the IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Embedded and Ubiquitous Computing (IEEE/IFIP EUC) (http://anss.org.au/euc2011/index.htm)

Member of IEEE and KSEAUK.

Research Interests:

· Embedded real-time systems engineering,

· Component-based middleware for embedded systems,

· Software design & implementation technologies for multi-core systems,

· Software Product Lines & variability/feature management,

· Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs),

· Real-time Java and robotics middlewares,

· Internet of Things.

Teaching (2013/2014): This year I am teaching two modules.

COMP3005/GA09 – Operating Systems, Department of Computer Science, taught in Term 1.

INSTG018 – Introduction to Programming and Database Querying: (Coursework submission – click here) - A module for the MA Electronic Communication and Publishing , the MA/MSc in Digital Humanities and the MSc Information Science , taught in Term 1.

Current Activities:

· Started a Cisco-UCL collaboration project on Internet of Things (IoT) from June 2013.

· Involved in the EPSRC SUAAVE project, in which we investigate in the usage of UAVs in sensing and monitoring applications.

· Between 2009 and 2011, worked on EU Framework 7 CHAT Project [http://www.ict-chat.eu/], for which we have been developing a middleware for real-time embedded control systems.

Patents:

Authored/Co-authored 8 U.S. patents (plus several regional patents) in the area of embedded and multi-core systems, and software design and implementation techniques for engineering component-based software product lines/families.
