Jihan Kim is a Senior Scientist and engineer with a decade of experience blending scientific research, software signal processing, and high-performance computing to deliver data-driven solutions. With a PhD in Physics and a track record building end-to-end pipelines (Python, PyTorch, OpenCV, Open3D) for 3D reconstruction and lab automation, she translates complex experimental needs into production-ready algorithms and workflows. Her background spans automated laboratory protocols, image analysis for large 3D microscopy datasets, and CUDA-enabled ML optimization, often improving processing speed or data fidelity by an order of magnitude. She pairs rigorous statistical and modeling expertise with hands-on systems work—from configuring Linux/CUDA environments to debugging symbolic lab languages—so she comfortably bridges research and operations. Notably, she led development of a novel 3D compression and reconstruction stack that maintained 98% color accuracy while reducing model size tenfold, demonstrating both scientific rigor and practical engineering impact.
