Jeehoon Kang (강지훈)

I am an Assistant Professor at KAIST School of Computing and the Principal Investigator of Concurrency and Parallelism Laboratory. I received my Ph.D. from Seoul National University under the supervision of Prof. Chung-Kil Hur. I am designing and verifying concurrent and parallel systems, from microarchitectures to programming languages to algorithms, that greatly improve performance and significantly reduce power consumption, thereby serving as the basis for the upcoming era of massive data processing.

I am recruiting motivated students of all levels interested in designing and verifying concurrent and parallel systems. See the research page for more details on the research we are doing. If interested, please send me an email.
