I build clinical AI systems — and the evidence that they work.

Youngwon Kim

I am a machine learning researcher working on high-stakes clinical AI. On Truveta's AI & Workflows team I train foundation models on longitudinal electronic health records to predict how patients' health evolves over time, and build the agent systems that reason over them — multi-agent and deep-agent architectures, LangChain pipelines, automated prompt optimization — for oncology and cardiology risk prediction, together with the clinical NLU and MCP tooling that connect them to real clinical workflows.

My Ph.D. in measurement and statistics (University of Washington) and postdoctoral training in causal inference (Harvard) give me a foundation most ML researchers don't have — evaluation frameworks, latent variable modeling, validity theory — and I've carried it from education and human behavior into high-dimensional healthcare. It's why I also build the benchmarks that decide whether a model is calibrated, interpretable, and fair enough to act on. Validity is not a final step; it is a design constraint.
