I’m a 2nd year PhD student in the Computer Sciences Department at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. I am advised by Dr. Xiangyao Yu, and am a member of the UW–Madison Databases Group. Previously, I was a Software Engineer at TileDB, working on their open-source data engine. I completed my B.Sc. and M.Sc. at Carnegie Mellon’s School of Computer Science, where I was advised by Dr. Andy Pavlo. My academic interests are database management systems and computer science education.

In my free time, I enjoy listening to Taylor Swift and fiber crafting. Feel free to reach out abigalekim0417[at]gmail[dot]com or abigale[at]cs[dot]wisc[dot]edu. I’m happy to chat and connect!
