Jeehoon Kang (강지훈)

We are currently seeking enthusiastic students at all academic levels who are interested in designing and verifying concurrent and parallel systems. If this interests you, please review these instructions and contact Jeehoon as soon as possible.

Jeehoon Kang

I am a Tenure-Track Associate Professor at the KAIST School of Computing and the Principal Investigator at the Concurrency and Parallelism Laboratory. Additionally, I serve as an Adjunct Faculty member at the Graduate School of AI Semiconductor and the Department of Semiconductor System Engineering. My Ph.D. in Computer Science was earned at Seoul National University, supervised by Prof. Chung-Kil Hur. I was also advised by Prof. Kwangkeun Yi.

My work is centered around designing and verifying concurrent and parallel systems. These systems range from micro-architectures to programming languages and algorithms, aiming to substantially enhance performance and reduce power consumption. This work is crucial for the impending era of extensive data processing.
