Wit Dinh, Human Resources

Wit Dinh joined the SJSU Research Foundation in June 2020 as Human Resources Manager. She is a true Spartan, having earned a B.A from SJSU in Social Work. Prior to joining the Research Foundation, she worked for a start-up company that was developing techniques for early breast cancer detection using artificial intelligence. Wit is married with a six-year-old son. While she and her family have been enjoying gardening, baking and do-it-yourself projects at home these past few months, she says that the first thing she will do when the COVID-19 pandemic is over is take her son to LEGOLAND!
