Hi, I’m Youngwoo (Ray) Jeong

I’m an incoming Fall 2026 Ph.D. student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at New York University, advised by Professor Austin Rovinski. My research interests include Computer Architecture, Domain-Specific Accelerators, HW/SW Co-Design, and FPGA prototyping.

Previously, I worked as a System Architect at MangoBoost, a DPU startup company. Both my M.S. and B.S. in Electronic Engineering were earned at Seoul National University of Science and Technology, where I was advised by Professor Seung Eun Lee in the Computer Architecture Lab.

You can find more details in my CV.
