Jongyul Kim

I am a systems researcher focused on re-architecting system software that bridges emerging hardware technologies with real-world systems, improving performance and efficiency at scale.

I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate working with Tianyin Xu at the Siebel School of Computing and Data Science, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). I earned my Ph.D. from the School of Computing at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), where I was a member of the Computer Architecture and Systems Laboratory (CASYS) advised by Youngjin Kwon and Seungryoul Maeng.

Research Interests

I work on storage and memory systems, including distributed file systems and memory hierarchy design, with an emphasis on cloud and data center environments. Recently, I have explored how programmable devices such as DPUs and computational storage can reshape existing system architectures, with growing interest in system support for emerging AI/ML workloads.
