I am currently working as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Geography (지리학과) at the Kyung Hee University (경희대학교), South Korea.

Before joining the KHU, I worked as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Geography Education (지리교육과) at the Kongju National University (공주대학교), South Korea.

I worked as a postdoctoral research associate within the CyberGIS Center for Advanced Digital and Spatial Studies at the Department of Geography and Geographic Information Science at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, under the supervision of Dr. Shaowen Wang. 

​

I have received my Ph.D. from the Department of Geography, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York in September 2018, under the supervision of Dr. Jared Aldstadt.

​

My research interests lie broadly in Geographic Information Science (GIScience), Geospatial BigData Analytics, GeoAI, through my work to date has been centered on spatial simulation modeling. I leverage high-performance computing power on the advanced cyberinfrastructure to discover geographic knowledge from spatial simulations.
