About Me

Hi, my name is Kyungbin (binbin), and I am a Master’s student in Electrical & Electronic Engineering at Korea University (Advisor: Professor Yunho Oh).
My research focuses on next-generation memory systems, specifically Compute Express Link (CXL) and tiered memory management for AI and high-performance computing (HPC).

I have experience in low-level system programming, memory optimization, and performance tuning for large-scale computing environments.
Previously, I analyzed LLM inference performance on tiered memory systems, evaluating memory access patterns and system efficiency.
My work involves developing advanced memory management techniques, optimizing data locality, and reducing access overhead in AI workloads.

I specialize in: Memory Systems, Operating Systems, and Low-Level System Programming.
