Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSoo Kim is an AI/ML scientist and assistant professor with eight years of experience applying machine learning to physical sciences, healthcare, and drug discovery. She blends deep academic training (PhD in Computational Materials Science) with hands-on research at national labs and industry labs—having driven climate and hurricane detection work at LLNL and AI-driven drug discovery at ATOM. Currently she holds research roles at PARC and SRI while launching an academic program in Medical AI and AI for Science at Ewha Womans University, bridging fundamental research and commercialization. Her work spans deep learning, knowledge representation, and policy learning, with practical GPU-accelerated implementations and LSTM/CNN pipelines for large-scale scientific data. Colleagues note she moves comfortably between first-principles simulation and modern ML, an unusual combination that accelerates translational research. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, she focuses on AI for social good and interdisciplinary applications from climate to materials to therapeutics.
