Charlotte KimClass of 2026

Charlotte is a J.D. candidate and Tech Law & Policy Scholar at Georgetown Law. Charlotte is interested in AI regulation, data privacy, and biotech patent law.

Prior to law school, Charlotte had a career in neuroscience research with co-authorships in the Journal of Neuroscience, Nature Methods, and Cell Reports Methods. Most recently, Charlotte was the team leader of an NIH-sponsored research project that delineated the underlying brain circuits of the hippocampal CA3 area. Her initial interest in research was sparked as an undergraduate research assistant in a trauma lab that studied the developmental effects of exposure to violence in childhood. Charlotte’s neuroscience experience includes investigating 1) the mechanism and pharmacology of excitatory neuronal receptors in the brain’s signaling network, 2) the cellular and synaptic mechanisms that underlie the devastating motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, and 3) the neuronal mechanisms underlying fundamental cognitive processes whose dysfunctions are implicated in neuropsychiatric disorders.

Charlotte holds dual degrees in Neuroscience and Philosophy, and her intellectual passion at the University of Notre Dame was philosophy of mind and its intersection with criminal justice. She enjoys yoga, going to the gym, golf, volunteering, and reading. Charlotte was born in South Korea and has spent a few years each in Seoul, Hong Kong, San Francisco, Ojai, Grand Rapids, and Dallas before moving to D.C. for law school.
