I'm currently an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at SKKU.
Before joining SKKU, I was a post-doc in ASRI at Seoul National University.
I earned Ph.D. and BS degree at Seoul National University under the supervision of Prof Jangwoo Kim.
I have mainly worked on designing (1) scalable quantum computer systems and (2) superfast cryogenic CPU, memory, and server architectures.
I also have conducted several research on (3) computer performance modeling and simulation, (4) processor microarchitecture, (5) process-in-memory for AI, and (6) cost-efficient datacenter architectures.
