Undergraduate studies in Forestry at the Korea University, Department of Forestry (at the present time – Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, College of Science), with Bachelor of Agriculture (1987), MSc studies in Forestry at the Korea University, Graduate School of Forestry (at the present time – Graduate School of Life and Environmental Sciences, Department of Environmental Science and Ecological Engineering), with MSc in Agriculture (1989), in the city of Seoul, Republic of Korea. PhD studies in Forestry at Georg-August Universität Göttingen, Faculty of Forest Sciences and Forest Ecology, with PhD in Forestry (1993), in the city of Göttingen, Lower Saxony, Germany. PhD thesis: «Wachstums- und Ertragsmodelle für Pinus densiflora in der Kangwon-Provinz, Korea (Growth and yield model for Pinus densiflora in Kangwon-Province, Korea)», Georg-August Universität Göttingen, Göttingen, Germany, 1993 (in German with English abstract). Professor for the Department of Environmental Science and Ecological Engineering, Graduate School of Life and Environmental Science, Director for BK 21+ Eco-Leader Education Center of Korea University, in the city of Seoul, Republic of Korea, visiting Professor for the YanBian University, College of Science, in the city of Yanji, Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, Jilin Province, People's Republic of China. Member of a various professional academic societies. Appointed as the President (2017) of the Korean Society of Climate Change Research (KSCC), after served as the head of International Affair Committee in the KSCC, and the President of Korean Society of Forest Management Information (2015-2017), and an executive member of the committee of UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) of Korea (2016 – present). Specialist in forest management planning, which includes stand-level and regional forest management planning and Decision Support System (DSS) in forest management planning. Research interests in forest growth and yield modelling and application of Geographic Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) in forest management planning, which factors in spatial components when modelling tree growth, and RS-Application for forest inventory and monitoring and forest environment management. Performed extensive analysis on impact assessment of Climate Change and developed adaptation plans for Climate Change in Korea. Research interests and subjects are also linked to the sustainability of Mid-Latitude Ecotone and the implementation of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) focusing on forests. Author and co-author of more than 100 scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals.
