I am was a research scientist at Intel Labs. Before that, I was a Ph.D. student at Georgia Tech, where I worked on the topics in Computer Architecture with Prof. Hyesoon Kim and other researchers. My research interests are in the interactions between microarchitecture, compilers, and operating systems to efficiently enable emerging architectures and technologies. I worked as a system programmer at a startup in Korea (2002-2005, 2007-2008) and also as an intern at AMD Research (2012)/Intel Labs (2013). I received my Ph.D. from Georgia Tech (2015) and my B.S. degree from Seoul National University (2007).
