The Computer Architecture and Co-Design (CoCo) research group is part of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at UNIST in South Korea. We study computer architecture and hardware–software co-design from digital systems and computer architecture up through applications and algorithms. By co-optimizing across these layers, we aim to build high-performance computing platforms for future intelligent systems that are programmable, robust, reliable, secure, and energy-efficient. This end-to-end perspective helps us turn device-level advances into real system impact and practical software.
(Prospective Students & Postdocs) If you are interested in an undergraduate research internship, graduate studies, or a postdoc position, please email me your latest CV and transcripts.
