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 high-level synthesis (HLS), software-hardware co-design, low-power and resource-efficient deep-neural-network inference processor, reconfigurable architecture, and embedded systems design.
