Biography

Ji-Yong Shin is an assistant professor in the Khoury College of Computer Sciences, based in Boston.

Shin researches formal verification methods that can be applied to system designs; he also designs novel systems such as distributed systems, cloud storage systems, and operating systems. Prior to joining Northeastern in 2020, he was an associate research scientist in the Department of Computer Science at Yale University.

In 2019, Shin received the NSF FMitF grant for a research project titled Track I: ADVERT: Compositional Atomic Specifications for Distributed System Verification. The project’s impacts include new tools to improve the reliability and security of large software infrastructures and the applications that run on them, as well as new courses on distributed-system design and verification that will broaden the participation of underrepresented groups.
