I am a Principal Research Scientist at KIOST (Korea Institute of Ocean Science & Technology), specializing in satellite remote sensing and marine meteorology. My research primarily involves satellite radiometric calibration and the development of Level 3 datasets to ensure the consistency and continuity of GOCI/GOCI-II data throughout their mission periods. In collaboration with NASA, NOAA, and MIT, I have contributed to the development of ocean color data application technologies, specifically for assessing the effects of climate change on marine ecosystems.

I also work on developing satellite-based algorithms for detecting marine fog and conduct research on marine weather and climate phenomena such as marine heatwaves, tropical cyclones, and sea fog. My research on marine heatwaves has led to a deeper understanding of their mechanisms, satellite monitoring techniques, and interactions with tropical cyclones. Building on my postdoctoral research, I continue to investigate the intensification and prediction of tropical cyclones using satellite data.

I am passionate about exploring new research avenues through academic collaborations across diverse fields and cultures. We are actively recruiting motivated students and researchers who are interested in ocean color data improvement, its applications, and marine weather research, including studies on tropical cyclones, marine heatwaves, and sea fog.
