Hi, I’m Kingsley Yung (also known as Yung King On in Cantonese). I completed my PhD in Computer Science and Engineering at CUHK in Hong Kong in 2024, under the supervision of Andrej Bogdanov and Farzan Farnia. Before that, I received my BSc in Mathematics and MSc in Computer Science, both also at CUHK.
My research interests include random constraint satisfaction problems, average-case complexity, geometric barriers to computation, phase transition, probabilistic combinatorics, cryptography.
In addition to my theoretical work, I also enjoy programming and contributing to the open-source community. Rust is my favorite programming language. I’m currently one of the maintainers of the Servo browser engine.
I am currently seeking postdoctoral and research opportunities in theoretical computer science. If you see a potential fit, please feel free to contact me by email at kingsley@kkoyung.dev.
I am also open to other opportunities where you think my background may be a good fit.
