Simon (Hwanwoong) Kang

I work as an embedded systems dev engineer at RoverDx, a Columbia University startup advancing next-generation point-of-care PCR diagnostics. At RoverDx, I design and implement embedded firmware and real-time control systems for sample preparation.

I hold an MS in Mechanical Engineering with a concentration in Robotics and Controls at Columbia University, where I conducted research in modular robotics and robotic metabolism at the Creative Machines Lab.

Earlier, I gained systems experience at Hyundai Motor Group, where I led the co-design of a cross-brand ML safety data analytics system architecture—partnering with Hyundai, Kia, and Deloitte.

My work is dedicated to developing robotic algorithms and systems for medical devices.
