Minsuk Kahng 강민석

Hi, I'm a Research Scientist at Google in the People + AI Research (PAIR) team. I design and develop visual analytics tools for people to interpret and interact with machine learning systems for large datasets. I combine human-centered interactive methods and data-driven scalable techniques at the intersection of Data Visualization, Explainable AI, and Human-Computer Interaction.

Before joining Google, I was an Assistant Professor at Oregon State University, leading the Data Interaction and Visualization Lab. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Georgia Tech with a Dissertation Award.

I currently live in the Atlanta area with my beloved partner Youjin Kong.

Bio

Minsuk Kahng is a Research Scientist at Google in the People + AI Research (PAIR) team. His research focuses on building visual analytics tools for people to interpret and interact with machine learning systems for large datasets. He combines human-centered interactive methods and data-driven scalable techniques at the intersection of Data Visualization, Explainable AI, and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Kahng's research has led to deployed technologies (e.g., ActiVis for Facebook) and open-sourced tools (e.g., GAN Lab developed with Google). His research has been recognized by pretious awards, including Google PhD Fellowship and NSF Graduate Research Fellowship, and supported by NSF, DARPA, Google, Facebook, and others. Prior to Google, Kahng was an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Oregon State University. He received his Ph.D. from Georgia Tech with a Dissertation Award and received his Master's and Bachelor's degrees from Seoul National University in South Korea.
