We are pleased to announce that our alumnus, Dr. Ranggi Hwang (advised by Prof. Minsoo Rhu), has been appointed Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), effective September 1, 2025.
Dr. Hwang earned his Ph.D. from KAIST in August 2025. His research centers on computer architecture, with a particular focus on hardware–software co-design for AI. During his graduate studies, he designed GPU systems and AI accelerators for a range of AI workloads, including recommender systems, graph algorithms, and privacy-preserving AI. He has published papers at top venues such as ISCA, MICRO, HPCA, and ASPLOS.
He also completed research internships at Microsoft Research and NVIDIA Research, where he developed memory- and power-efficient GPU systems for large language model (LLM) inference. His service to the research community includes the MICRO 2025 External Review Committee (ERC) and the HPCA 2026 Program Committee (PC).
Please join us in congratulating Dr. Hwang on his appointment.
