Don’t let the present limit your future!

Welcome to Prof. Cha Sang Kyun's Lab! Under Prof. Cha, an innovator and entrepreneur who founded 'Transact In Memory, Inc.' in Silicon Valley, the atmosphere of his lab members follows his spirit.

After SAP AG’s acquisition of the company in late 2005, he led SAP’s secret research toward SAP HANA and took the role of one of two co-founding chief architects of SAP HANA until early 2014 when his role at SAP was more or less done and the industry shifted toward the in-memory paradigm triggered by SAP HANA.

Prof. Cha is also a founding director of Big Data institute and a dean of Graduate School of Data Science at SNU. He serves as the chair of IEEE International Conference on Data Engineering Ten-Year Influential Paper Award Committee.
