Research Interests

Dr. Jung loves memory and storage systems. His research topics are mainly focused on advanced computer architecture, embedded systems, firmware, middleware, memory controller design atop/within storage class Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) technologies such as NAND flash, Resistive RAM (RRAM), Magnetic RAM (STT-RAM), and Phase-change RAM (PCRAM). These emerging NVM studies will define new computer architecture and new parallelism computing, which can in turn boost performance and reduce energy consumption with better reliability at a given technology. he actively leads diverse NVM projects such as modeling open source-based NVM simulation, analyzing/designing high performance many-chip Solid State Disks (SSD), developing host-local NVM systems and optimizing NVM software stacks. He is also interested in introducing different types of NVM technology into big-data processing and scientific applications such as out-of-core computing, in-situ analysis and message logging, and enabling NVM-based burst buffer/micro-check pointing under diverse high performance computing (HPC) and data-center system organizations.
