Young L. Kim

Young Kim is associate head for research and professor of biomedical engineering, university faculty scholar, and Showalter faculty scholar at Purdue University. He also serves as co-director of the Interdisciplinary Biomedical Science Program and has affiliations with Purdue Quantum Science and Engineering Institute, Regenstrief Center for Healthcare Engineering, and Purdue University Center for Cancer Research. His current areas of research include data-centric biophotonics and hybridization of physical and digital properties. He has successfully managed an atypically broad spectrum of work ranging from cancer research, machine learning, optical imaging, spectroscopy, biomaterials, metamaterials, to cryptographic primitives. In particular, he is currently working on reciprocal innovation such that mHealth technologies developed in resource-limited settings can be brought back to developed country settings, which was recognized as the First Prize of the NIH Technology Accelerator Challenge 2020. He has also pioneered cyberphysical biomedical security technology development for medicines and pharmaceutical products, supported by the AFOSR Cybersecurity Program. Young Kim received his PhD and MSCI (Master of Science in Clinical Investigation) from Northwestern University and postdoctoral training supported by NCI Cancer Research Careers program.
