Summary
Hana Kim is a Staff Engineer at Samsung Electronics with eight years of experience applying spatial statistics and GIS to complex big data problems in semiconductor manufacturing and public health. She holds a PhD in Geography and has a strong research background from roles at the University of Cincinnati and WHO, where she led geospatial studies on COVID-19, HIV, malaria, and health service access across Africa. Proficient in Python, R, and spatial analysis, Hana blends academic rigor with production-scale analytics to turn geospatial insight into actionable engineering outcomes. Based in Hwaseong-si, South Korea, she maintains a technical blog and open channels via GitHub, reflecting a habit of documenting and sharing reproducible geospatial workflows. Her uncommon crosswalk between epidemiological mapping and industrial semiconductor data gives her a rare ability to transfer methods across domains and uncover spatial patterns others might miss.
