Hi, I'm Sukwon (David) Kim 👋

I recently graduated with a Master's degree in Computational Biology from Carnegie Mellon University (Class of 2026), bringing 3+ years of industry experience as a bioinformatics engineer. My long-term vision is to advance personalized, preventive medicine through predictive, in silico modeling and scalable AI.

I specialize in bridging biological research and software engineering—focusing on architecting data pipelines, training specialized AI models, and deploying production-grade MLOps infrastructure for complex biological datasets.

Featured Project

  • PanicGuard

    An iOS and watchOS application designed for on-device panic attack monitoring, utilizing agentic workflows and physiological features.

  • BindingAL

    A distributed active learning framework for antigen-antibody binding prediction using Protein Language Models (PLMs).

  • LLM symptom classifier API

    A demonstration of a fine-tuned language model for classifying patient symptoms, served via a FastAPI/Redis-backed REST API.


Graduate Research

At CMU's Safe AI Lab, I developed a Mamba-based Foundation Model for clinical time-series data. By leveraging Self-Supervised Learning (SSL), the model is designed to capture long-range dependencies in physiological signals (ECG) with linear complexity.

Key Achievement: Successfully benchmarked robust length generalization for a model trained on 10-second segments. It demonstrated zero-shot robustness on shortened 2-second inputs (AUROC drop <1%) and seamlessly scaled to unseen 30-minute external records, achieving >3x higher inference throughput compared to baseline architectures.
