About me

Kijin An is a software engineer/researcher at Software Engineering Team in Samsung Research at Seoul, currently he is developing AI Coding Assitant tool based LLM. He is interested in how reinforcement learning or prompt engineering affects to the coding performance of LLM for Code.

Prior that, he received his Ph.D. degree in the Department of Computer Science at Virginia Tech, advised by Prof. Eli Tilevich. Also, he worked in KIST and completed his masters degree from POSTECH, under the supervision of Prof. Hwangjun Song.
