Faith Kim

My research interests lie at the intersection of computational chemistry, bioinformatics, artificial intelligence, and chemistry education. Building on my M.S. in Computer Science (May 2024), I continue to integrate AI and machine learning into chemistry education and research, with the goal of preparing students to use computational tools that are increasingly essential in modern scientific research and industry. I plan to expand research opportunities that combine computational chemistry, machine learning, and bioinformatics, with an emphasis on undergraduate participation and curriculum innovation.

As a Senior Lecturer at Stevens Institute of Technology, I am primarily responsible for coordinating and teaching multiple sections of General Chemistry Laboratory I and II, serving approximately 800–900 students annually. I continuously work to improve the curriculum by integrating new instructional technologies and incorporating current research findings. My teaching emphasizes active learning, problem-based approaches, and strategies that enhance student engagement and comprehension. Through ongoing professional development, I remain committed to advancing the quality of education and contributing to our department's growing reputation as a center of innovation and excellence in scientific education and research.
