Jeongseob Ahn (안정섭)

I am currently an associate professor in the School of Electrical Engineering and am also affiliated with the Department of Communications Engineering at Korea University. Before joining Korea University, I spent six and a half years at Ajou University, where I started my faculty career. I am interested in building high-performance computer systems with cross-layer optimization. Prior to joining Ajou, I contributed to building a large-scale data analytics system with specialized hardware (called RAPID) at Oracle Labs.
