Bongjun Jang

I'm a Master's student at KAIST School of Computing. I'm interested in applying formal methods (PL, Logics) and AI to real-world systems. So far, I have focused on compiler research: automatically finding optimization bugs and generating optimizations rules with formal guarantees.

You can find me on Github, or email me via bongjun.jang@kaist.ac.kr. I sometimes write blog posts on what I have read, my thoughts and experiences.
