Hello I'm Mogan Gim who is currently a Assistant Professor in Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME). I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Korea University under the guidance of Professor Kang, who served as my principal investigator.   During my Ph.D program under Professor Kang's supervision, I took part in various collaborative projects including SK pucore's SMARTUS development project and Sony AI's Gastronomy Project.  

My title for my doctoral dissertation is Deep Learning Architectures using Set-Oriented Data Representations . As the title says, my research interests revolve around solving real-world problems using set-oriented data representations. I primarily tackle such problems by devising a deep learning-based approach that addresses their domain-specific aspects. I also focus on developing novel deep learning architectures that best utilizes those aspects for not only enhancing their task performance but also model explainability.

 During my Ph.D program, I have engaged in several applied data science projects of  diverse domains including Food Informatics, Drug Discovery, Material Science and so on. I enjoy learning not only the advancements of cutting-edge deep learning methodologies  but also unexplored fields of knowledge. Though I recieved my Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, I have seldom restrained myself from being intrigued in other fields of science such as organic chemistry, molecular biology, culinary studies, food nutrition as on. I believe it is fascinating to infuse such knowledge in developing AI-driven systems that can contribute to society. These academic characteristics are the key ingredients in my previous publications and current research proejcts.

Currently, my central research interest is Digital Health, a multi-dicsiplinary applied data science domain that spans Bioinformatics, Cheminformatics and Food Informatics. My utlimate goal is to pursue my research towards promoting social health through development of a AI-driven Drug Discovery Pipeleine and Precision Nutrition System.
