Dr. Jang joined Ole Miss after two years tenure at Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) where he led efforts in designing and optimizing compilers for AMD/ATI GPUs, APUs, and upcoming HSA systems. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from Northeastern University in 2010 and BS degree in Bio-Mechatronic Engineering from Sungkyunkwan University in South Korea. Before doctoral study, he also worked for Samsung Electronics where he developed system software for mobile devices.
