My research interests include extensive future ocean modeling and remote sensing using drones. I am interested in ocean wave dynamics and coastal erosion. I was born in Korea and obtained my bachelor's and master's degrees in Japan. I received my Ph.D. from Texas A&M University. I like traveling and watching movies. I want to help protect future coastal communities from rising sea levels.

My research aims to develop a framework for optimal placement of low-cost environmental sensors to characterize spatiotemporal trends of hazards (e.g., air/water pollution and flooding) in coastal communities. I am applying information theory approaches to find equitable and economical solutions for sensor placement. My previous research has focused on probabilistic modeling, risk assessment, uncertainty quantification, and decision-making in urban and built environments. I hold my Ph.D. degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University and my M.S. and B.S. degrees in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Seoul National University.

I am a Ph.D. candidate in water resources at the University of Texas at Arlington. I received my BS in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Amirkabir University of Technology and my MS from Sharif University in Tehran. My current research revolves around the hydrodynamic modeling of tidal wetlands and studying the wetland response to climate change and tidal restoration. During my Ph.D., I have also worked on statistical modeling of compound flooding events across the US coasts considering sea level rise and future uncertainty. When I am not working on my research projects, I usually read books, watch movies, Anime, and live sports, or play football.

I am an Earth enthusiast driven to unravel our planet's mysteries and promote sustainability. With a B.Sc. in Civil Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, where I worked on Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment, I aspire to become an expert in water engineering, integrating other diverse engineering fields. My research focuses on leveraging real-time data to address hazards, particularly floods, and to optimize resilient infrastructure design. In a world grappling with climate change, I aim to enhance community flood resilience through crowdsourced mobile data, dynamic metrics, and equitable disaster preparedness. Beyond academics, I cherish life's simple pleasures, including hiking, biking, music, movies, TV series, poetry, novels, badminton, and the continuous pursuit of new ideas and arts.

I am a UT Arlington Civil Engineering undergrad who is highly interested in a combination of water resources and environmental science. My passion for the fields grew while working in my hometown's water treatment plant! When I'm free, I love to spend time exploring and running outdoors, plus singing karaoke (rarely at the same time).

I am majoring in civil engineering at UT Arlington with the intent to specialize in hydrology and hydraulics. My dream goal is to move to a coastal city and be involved with engineering projects there. In my free time I enjoy fishing, watching anime and movies, as well as playing tennis and soccer.
