Joonhyuk Ko

Hi, I’m Joon. I’m a third year student at the University of Virginia, pursuing a double major in Computer Science and Mathematics. I’m a member of RAISE group at UVA, led by Prof. Ferdinando Fioretto. For Summer 2025, I’m working as a research intern at Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Computer Science, advised by Prof. Steven Wu.

My research focuses on algorithmic fairness and differential privacy, particularly how privacy noise impacts decision-making tasks. I’m also interested in reconstruction attacks and their practical implications for data privacy. Fun fact: my Erdős number is 3.

I’m applying to Ph.D. programs in Computer Science and Operations Research in Fall 2025.
