Research Areas:
I completed bachelor’s and master’s degrees in landscape architecture at Seoul National University and a Ph.D. degree in urban planning and design at the University of Utah. Before joining UBC, I was an assistant professor in the Department of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning at Utah State University.
I conduct behavioural research through spatial data analytics and digital technologies. Ultimately, my research aims to understand how to design healthy, just, and resilient cities through urban nature.
