Summary
Myoungsoo Jung is an endowed chair professor at KAIST and a serial researcher-executive who blends deep academic scholarship with industry impact across storage and memory systems. With 14+ years of experience and over $13M in lab funding, he models and simulates emerging memory technologies to design energy-efficient Exascale systems in collaboration with DOE, LBNL, and NSF. He holds a PhD from Penn State and brings prior industry R&D experience at Samsung, multiple U.S. patents on multi-channel SSDs, and hundreds of publications on SSDs, flash and kernel-level file systems. Beyond academia he is CEO of Panmnesia and an active contributor to standards and hardware ecosystems (PCI-SIG, CXL, RISC-V, Open Compute), helping translate research into platform-level influence. His work has earned LBNL and international best-paper recognitions and awards across both industry and government programs. Less obvious: he routinely bridges lab-scale simulation with consortium-level specification work, uniquely positioning him to drive both device innovation and system-level adoption.
