Early in his career, Yongmin Kim adopted an interdisciplinary approach to research that a more ego-driven researcher would have shied away from. He teamed with statisticians, electrical engineers, medical doctors, computer scientists, and industry executives to produce a steady stream of around 450 publications and a slew of innovations to medical imaging equipment that he has often had the pleasure of seeing put to use in hospitals in as short as two years. But Kim did not sit back and bask in his accomplishments. The moment he reached a goal, he set his sights on the next one. Having helped build the University of Washington's Bioengineering Department, where he led students and faculty for 29 years, the IEEE Fellow and former Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) president resigned his tenured faculty position and set out to meet another challenge: serving as president of South Korea's Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH).
在其职业生涯早期，金勇民采用了一种跨学科的研究方法，而更以自我为中心的研究人员会对此避而远之。他与统计学家、电气工程师、医生、计算机科学家和行业高管合作，发表了约450篇论文，并不断创新医疗成像设备，他常常很高兴地看到这些创新成果在短短两年内就被医院投入使用。但金勇民并没有满足于自己的成就而沾沾自喜。每当实现一个目标，他就会将目光投向新的目标。在帮助创建了华盛顿大学的生物工程系并在那里带领学生和教职员工29年后，这位电气和电子工程师协会会士、前医学与生物学工程学会（EMBS）主席辞去了终身教职，开始迎接另一项挑战：担任韩国浦项科技大学（POSTECH）校长。
