I'm a postdoctoral researcher at North Carolina State University working in the Larson Lab.

My research is at the intersection of environmental justice, urban planning, and public policy. I use large-scale human mobility data and advanced geospatial analytics to move beyond traditional measures of green space access, focusing instead on how communities actually use and interact with urban nature. My work has examined the equity implications of public health policies, transportation infrastructure, and park characteristics on green space visitation, particularly for disadvantaged populations.  

I hold a PhD in Public Administration and Policy from Arizona State University. I received an MPA from Korea University and a BS in Chemistry (with a minor in Science & Technology Policy) from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST).
