Postdoctoral Research Associate - AI, QC, and HPC

Seongmin Kim

Postdoctoral Research Associate

Dr. Kim joined ORNL in 2023 as a postdoctoral research associate in the Technology Integration group at the National Center for Computational Sciences (NCCS) Division of Oak Ridge National Laboratory. He received his Ph.D. at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), South Korea, in 2021. Prior to joining ORNL, he was a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Notre Dame.

His research interests are to integrate quantum computing with high-performance computing and develop an active learning algorithm leveraging machine learning, high-performance computing and quantum computing, contributing to the advancement of computational capabilities in various research fields.
