Yangwook Kang

I have received my PhD in Computer Science from Center for Research in Storage Systems at University of California, Santa Cruz in June, 2014. My dissertation title was "High-performance, Reliable Object-based NVRAM Devices". I introduced the use of object-based storage model as an universal access model for existing and future non-volatile memories, and explored various designs of such systems. I was advised by professor Ethan L. Miller and professor Darrell Long during my PhD study.

Before coming to UCSC, I received my MS at Hongik University in South Korea. I worked with Sam H. Noh on NVRAM/DRAM hybrid page cache algorithms. Before entering grad school, I worked for several start-ups in South Korea. Since July 2014, I am a staff engineer at Samsung Semiconductors, working on the design of intelligent storage devices and systems.
