About me

Welcome to my website! My name is Jiho Kim, and I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I find myself incredibly fortunate to be a part of the Sharc Lab 🦈 advised by Professor Hao. My research interests include bridging architecture to advanced technology advancements, high-level synthesis (HLS), software-hardware co-design, and low-power and resource-efficient deep-neural-network inference processor.
