Kyeongmin Cho (조경민)

I received my Ph.D. in August 2024 and have since joined the startup Rebellions. This page will no longer be updated, and you can find my latest information at kyeongmincho.com.

For my Ph.D., my research primarily focused on persistent memory (PM). Specifically, I have dedicated my efforts to systematic programming principles to fully harness the potential of PM through formal abstractions, advancing the reliability and performance of PM systems.

Since joining the Concurrency and Parallelism Laboratory in 2019, I have had an incredibly fulfilling time. I was fortunate to engage in enjoyable research with Prof. Jeehoon Kang and my colleagues, achieving milestones that would have been impossible without their support and collaboration.

Below are my key accomplishments during my time in the lab:
