Minchul.
About.
I'm Minchul Kim, a Ph.D. grad from Michigan State, now at Google. My passion lies in using computer vision for social good. I started my career on a mission to fight cancer with AI at the startup Lunit, and I've been hooked on building tech that makes a difference ever since. I believe in the power of curiosity and collaboration, and I'm always up for a conversation with anyone who's excited about shaping a better future.
