“Faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love ♥. I am passionate about designing resilient urban spaces by leveraging big data and AI to analyze how the built environment affects elderly pedestrian mobility and to predict and manage diverse risks—traffic accidents, crime, fires, and natural disasters—so that transportation- and safety-vulnerable populations can live with confidence. In particular, I’m especially interested in how extreme weather events driven by climate change affect pedestrian safety and overall urban vulnerability—and in turning those insights into practical, climate-adaptive design strategies.

People create spaces, live within them, and are deeply influenced by them. I am particularly interested in identifying both tangible and intangible elements within the built environment that negatively impact physical and mental health, and in designing healthier environments through this understanding.

Halo! My name is Joung. Inevitably, we all age and become more vulnerable. My aim is to contribute to the development of a society where everyone can enjoy the benefits of future cities by proposing evidence-based design guidelines that would improve the living environments of the elderly and individuals with disabilities.

Architecture is an academic discipline that achieves freedom, harmony, and inclusiveness of space so that everyone can live happily without being marginalized (regardless of gender, age, and various situations). Based on advanced science and technology, I want to become a researcher who helps everyone enjoy the value of modern cities. In particular, I want to contribute to creating sustainable urban spaces through research on new paradigms of residential spaces. 

Hi! My name is Yani. Cities should ultimately prioritize the well-being and happiness of their citizens. My goal is to become a researcher who uses urban data to address social issues and create more inclusive and sustainable cities, especially for the marginalized populations. My work explores how social welfare, technology, and design can come together to improve urban quality of life.

Hello! I’m Kamila Malekova. I am passionate about using creative, evidence-based design to make cities healthier and more inclusive. My goal is to develop practical solutions that enable diverse communities to thrive in changing urban environments. Through my research, I aim to contribute to creating spaces that foster well-being and adapt to real-world challenges.

Hello! My name is Jiwon Lee. I believe that cities are ultimately shaped by the people who live in them rather than by buildings or roads. My research interests include walkability and age-friendly cities, with a focus on creating inclusive and sustainable urban environments that support people of all ages.

Hello! My name is Yewon Chae. I believe that spaces can influence people's emotions and behaviors. While the scope of space is vast, I see that as a source of immense possibility. I want to improve the environments where people live, and that is why I dream of creating spaces and cities for everyone.
