I'm a research fellow at Greenpeace East Asia (https://www.greenpeace.org/eastasia/). I earned my Ph.D. in environmental planning from Seoul National University (https://gses.snu.ac.kr/en) in February 2024, under the guidance of Professor Sun-Jin Yun (ecodemo.snu.ac.kr). My current research focuses on leveraging GeoAI—including computer vision and spatial machine learning—to predict climate crises and improve the socially equitable accessibility of climate technologies.
My current research focuses on:
My previous research includes:
