I’m a 3rd year PhD student in the Computer Sciences Department at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. My advisor is Dr. Xiangyao Yu, and I am a member of the UW–Madison Databases Group. I work on GPU-accelerated database systems, with a focus on variable-length data processing.

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.

In my free time, I enjoy running, climbing, and making art. Feel free to reach out by emailing me at abigalekim0417[at]gmail[dot]com or abigale[at]cs[dot]wisc[dot]edu. I’m happy to chat and connect!
