Sung-Hwan Lee (이성환)

I am a compiler engineer at Rebellions, working on developing an AI compiler for Rebellions AI chips. Before that, I received a Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from Seoul National University, advised by Chung-Kil Hur. My Ph.D. research aimed at building formal foundations for writing, compiling, and verifying concurrent software under weak consistency.
