ABOUT DO-HYUNG KIM
I’m a data scientist with deep expertise in geospatial analytics, climate risk modeling, and the application of AI and machine learning to environmental and social challenges. My work focuses on transforming complex climate and population datasets into actionable insights for decision-makers, particularly in the context of child vulnerability and climate resilience.At UNICEF, I lead technical development for global-scale climate hazard assessments — including extreme heat, floods, and droughts — integrating Earth observation, climate indicators, and population data. I design and deploy scalable data pipelines using Python, Google Earth Engine, and cloud-based infrastructure, enabling reproducible, policy-relevant analytics across countries and regions.With a PhD in geographical sciences and experience across research, innovation, and development sectors, I bring a strong foundation in scientific modeling combined with a practical understanding of real-world data constraints. I’m especially interested in leading projects that bridge data science and impact — from methodology design to stakeholder engagement and tool development.I\'m always open to connecting with teams working at the intersection of climate intelligence, AI for sustainability, and responsible data innovation.
