Bio
Kim is an Academic Relations Program Manager at Yahoo! Labs. She manages our data sharing program and also the Faculty Research and Engagement program. Kim looks for ways that Yahoo! can collaborate with faculty and students by sharing our interesting and scientifically useful datasets and managing the collaboration of Yahoo! scientists and academics.
Academic Relations is a centralized organization that works to establish deep, mutually beneficial, and long-lasting relationships with top universities around the world. We use two complementary approaches to broaden relationships and bring value to Yahoo!, while providing significant benefits for our university partners. Our Program Managers run broad-based programs that allow participation from many campuses while our Campus Relationship Managers focus on a small number of key institutions with strong common interests with Yahoo!, and develop customized, deep relationships with those schools. We work closely with the university community at all levels because we believe we can better address the future of the Internet and technology together.
