Bryan S. Kim

Bryan S. Kim is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Syracuse University. His research focuses on computer systems, particularly data storage systems, emphasizing performance, reliability, and scalability in the context of heterogeneous hardware. He holds a Ph.D. and M.S. in Computer Science and Engineering from Seoul National University and a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from UC Berkeley. Prior to academia, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Seoul National University and as a manager at SK Telecom.

Key research interests include SSD reliability, storage system design, and overcoming hardware limitations through innovative architectures. Notable recent work includes projects on capacity-variant storage systems, CXL-enabled SSDs, and RAID adaptations for heterogeneous SSDs. He has been awarded two NSF grants: the DESC proposal (CHIPLETS360) in 2025 and a CAREER award for bridging memory/storage gaps in 2025.
