Summary
Howard Kim is a Computer Science Modeling and Simulation Engineer with 11 years of experience applying computational techniques to complex physical systems, currently at MITRE in Hanover, NH. He holds a master's in Space Physics from Dartmouth and a background in experimental and material physics, blending domain science with practical software—Python, LabVIEW, Mathematica—for data calibration, signal detection, and visualization. His work ranges from filtering 100+ GB datasets and FFT-based spectral analysis to building GUIs for manual inspection and automating parameter sweeps for condensed-matter models. Beyond formal projects, he explores machine learning for simulation enhancement and has a niche interest in modeling elevator traffic flow informed by patient real-world observations. Colleagues describe him as a thoughtful problem-solver who bridges research rigor and engineering pragmatism to turn messy experimental data into actionable models.
