Career Profile

I am currently working as an AI Chip Architect at FuriosaAI, where I collaborate with the Compiler and Programming Language teams on chip design. I hold an M.S. in AI Semiconductor from KAIST (CASYS Lab), specializing in HW-SW co-design for AI acceleration, and have honed my research and engineering skills across both hardware and software domains through top-tier publications and projects — gaining hands-on experience in FPGA prototyping, RISC-V architecture, and custom accelerator design.

Experiences

Co-Researcher

ACT Lab, UCSD (Prof. Hadi Esmaeilzadeh)
Nov 2024
  • During collaboration from March 2024 to Aug 2025, visited the ACT Lab under Prof. Hadi Esmaeilzadeh for 2 weeks in November.
  • Actively participated in research discussions and implemented several accelerator simulators and compilers.
  • Research details to be announced (TBA).

Undergraduate Student Research Intern

CASYS Lab, KAIST (Prof. Jongse Park)
Jun 2022 — Nov 2023
  • Participated in the "DaCapo [ISCA'24]" paper — architected DaCapo hardware and contributed to DaCapo software simulator development.
  • Led the "Systolic-Array on FPGA" project for CS411 (Systems for Artificial Intelligence).

Teaching Assistant

KAIST
2023 — 2024
  • CS411 — Systems for Artificial Intelligence (Fall 2023)
  • CS230 (Fall 2024)

Projects

Performance Analysis Infrastructure for the Accelerator on SoC

Studied AXI protocol, interrupts, and DMA of the Cheshire RISC-V SoC. Integrated the Genesys accelerator with the Cheshire RISC-V SoC and verified functionality with QuestaSim.

End-to-End AI Acceleration System

Built and integrated a custom NPU with a RISC-V core to accelerate MLP tasks. Built the full system hierarchy — hardware, kernel, user function, application — and verified functionality with VCS and Verdi.

Systolic-Array on FPGA

Architected a systolic-array accelerator on FPGA for image detection acceleration. Implemented a dual-mode (WS/OS) systolic-array hardware and kernels for tiled WS/OS matmul; authored the CS411 class project instructions covering FPGA, Vivado, and hardware design.
