Research Assistant January 2019 - December 2022

This project aims to improve the understanding and prediction of extreme urban heat events by developing physical and probabilistic models of urban heat island effects, temperature hazards, and associated risks in cities. The project is supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF Award #1664091).

Graduate Student Researcher March 2016 - February 2017

This project develops a preliminary framework for disaster management based on quantified seismic risk in urban environments. The study focuses on the probabilistic assessment of earthquake hazards and their cascading impacts on urban systems. The project was supported by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport of Korea (Grant No. 15RDPP-C102128-01).

Development of Seismic Hazard Risk Management Model for Korea Using Open Access Software

Graduate Student Researcher May 2016 - February 2017

This project develops a seismic hazard risk management model for Korea using open-access software. Supported by Seoul National University (Grant No. 400-20150011).

Convergence Research Center for Disaster-Hazard Resilience

Graduate Student Researcher August 2015 - February 2016

This project investigates risk-based approaches to improve preparedness for complex urban disasters, with a focus on cascading and interacting hazards in urban environments. The project was supported by the National Research Foundation of Korea (Grant No. 2015R1A5A7037372).
