Prof. Kuo is a distinguished professor of the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering at National Taiwan University. Before joining MBZUAI, he took a temporary leave to join City University of Hong Kong as Lee Shau Kee Chair Professor of Information Engineering, Advisor to President (Information Technology), and Dean of College of Engineering between August 2019 and July 2022. He also previously served as Interim President and Executive Vice President for Academics and Research at National Taiwan University, Taiwan, and as a distinguished research fellow and director of research center for information technology innovation, Academia Sinica.

Prof. Kuo is a member of European Academy of Sciences and Arts. He is also a Fellow of ACM, IEEE, and US National Academy of Inventors. Kuo is Vice Chair of SIGAPP and Chair of Award Committee of ACM SIGBED. He received the highest honor from IEEE Technical Committee on Real-Time Systems in 2017: Outstanding Technical Achievement and Leadership Award, among a long list of distinguished awards.

Prof. Kuo is recognized as a pioneer in non-volatile memory software and systems. His research results were technically transferred to many storage and IC-design companies, such as acer, Macronix, Genesys Logic. His team is one of the first few in proposing the concept of unified memory (i.e., an integrated design of the main memory and storage) and its designs to conquer the challenges in data moving such as the performance gap between the main memory and ultra-low-latency storage systems.

Prof. Kuo is the founding Editor-in-Chief of the ACM Transactions on Cyber-Physical Systems (2015-2021). He was an Associate Editor of the Journal of Real-Time Systems (SCI) (1998-2020), IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics (SCI) (2007-2019), and ACM Transactions on Design Automation of Electronic Systems (TODAES) (2014-2020), and a program committee member of many top conferences around the world. Kuo served as the General Chair (2008) and Program Chair (2007) of IEEE Real-Time Systems Symposium (RTSS), where RTSS is the flagship conference in real-time systems in the world. Starting from 2003, he served as a member of the steering committee of IEEE RTCSA, and he served as the steering committee chair of IEEE RTCSA between 2004 and 2008. Since 2014, he also serves as the steering committee chair of IEEE Non-Volatile Memory Systems and Applications Symposium (NVMSA).
