About Me
I was a postdoctoral researcher working with Prof. Christopher Still in the Department of Forest Ecosystems & Society at Oregon State University (August 2013 to March 2017). My research has been primarily related to biogeochemical cycles and micrometeorology of the global terrestrial ecosystems.
I was grown up in Seoul, the capital of South Korea. In my childhood, I had spent many days in my mother's hometown, a small rural village near Mt. Seorak in eastern Korean Peninsular, and enjoyed my stay with beautiful natures. I loved the rural landscapes of mountains, rice paddies, and streams, as well as all creatures, including animals, flowers, and trees. Inspired by natures, I dreamed to be an ecologist who seeks one's curiosity on the biological interactions with surrounding environments and wished to keep scientific connections with motherlands. I completed my bachelor's study in biology and master's degree in environmental sciences in South Korea and then moved to Montreal, Canada to pursue my PhD in physical geography. As the next stage of my research career, I landed in Oregon to start my postdoctoral research projects about the thermal imaging macrosystems biology and forest growth modeling in US Pacific Northwest.
I have been studying terrestrial ecosystem ecology, especially biogeochemical cycles and micrometeorology controlling greenhouse gas exchanges. I have been also working on monitoring of ecosystem/ecological processes to examine ecophysiological changes in response to varying climate and environments. I have broad interests in the research fields of earth system sciences, landscape ecology, isotope ecology, hydrology, and global climatic and environmental changes.
In my spare time, I am enjoying hiking and traveling with my family, and I like a variety of sport activities and to be social with young church fellows.
