Korea University

I am an engineering-based scientist specialized in Hydrology and related areas. As an academic staff of a research-oriented university, I am deeply engaged in basic research and teaching both undergraduate and graduate students. While my research interests cover a broad range of subjects in Physical Hydrology and Fluvial Geomorphology, my current focus is on Earth’s surface dynamics and feedbacks to better understand global environmental changes.
