About Me

Hello! My name is Minwoo Sohn. I'm in my 2nd year of a Data Science master's program at Vanderbilt University, and I previously studied civil engineering. With a passion for data, I envision making a meaningful change, especially in areas like climate change and smart business decision-making. Throughout my academic journey, I've delved into projects that have sharpened my data skills. During my free time, you can find me perfecting my swing on the golf course or immersed in a thrilling video game session.

Work Experience

Data Science Social Good Fellow

Vanderbilt University / June - August 2023

I participated in three educational projects: First, I designed assistive tech tools for students with diverse learning needs. Second, I led the UI development for an oral exam module featuring dynamic question generation and answer assessment, leveraging LLM. Third, I contributed to AIDA, an AI tool tailoring questions based on a child's age and reading profile, enabling parents from all socioeconomic backgrounds to support early childhood literacy.

Graduate Data Scientist

Vanderbilt University / August 2022 - May 2023

I developed a function in RStudio that automatically fetches encrypted player performance data from Catapult wearables stored in the cloud for specified time periods, integrated multiple APIs into an R Shiny dashboard for real-time data visualization, and conducted a time-series analysis to identify high-risk injury periods for athletes.

Research Assistant

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign / January 2021 - August 2022

I modtified parts of the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model using Julia, developing custom data models and algorithms for efficient, small-scale simulation. Leveraging differential equations and principles like the heat equation and advection, I constructed a physical model to predict air pollution effects on humans and also compressed the entire CMAQ model into a virtual directory for collaborative research.
