Finally, meet the researcher passionate about making a difference – a quick peek into my world
Hello, I’m Kevin Kim. I studied Computer Science & Neuroscience at Emory University. I'm a MSCS student at UC San Diego seeking to further explore neural networks and transformer model design to push the boundaries of what I have learned about the brain that I studied in neuroscience to find out how to further improve multi-agent systems across various cognitive tasks.
