Jeonghyeon Kim

I’m currently pursuing a Master’s degree at the Graduate School of AI Semiconductor, KAIST. After earning my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Seoul, I joined the Concurrency and Parallelism Laboratory to explore more effective methods for reasoning about concurrent and parallel systems.

I kicked off my research journey by contributing to Jaehwang’s HP++ project, an extension of Hazard pointers designed for enhanced applicability. Building on that, my current focus revolves around devising an innovative approach to further enhance the hazard pointer scheme, aiming to achieve both improved performance and robustness.

Additionally, I have a keen interest in verifying critical systems, particularly distributed systems and file systems. Presently, I am collaborating with Northeastern University on developing a framework for verifying the safety and liveness of a distributed key-value store.
