Contributing to the development of K-CM, Korea's coupled climate model for the national climate prediction system.
Physics-based fire modeling with FIRETEC, FARSITE and WRF-SFIRE from meter scale to national scale, fuel maps for accurate modeling, and AI emulators trained on large FIRETEC ensembles.
I use numerical models of the atmosphere to understand and predict wildland fire, clouds and precipitation, mesoscale flows, and climate. My current work focuses on climate model development for Korea's national climate prediction system (국가기후예측시스템), as a member of the project team, and on physics-based wildland fire modeling.
My modeling work spans a wide range of spatial scales—from meter-scale fire dynamics simulated with FIRETEC, through sub-kilometer to kilometer-scale atmospheric and wildland fire simulations using WRF and WRF-SFIRE, to global climate simulations with the Korean Climate Model (K-CM).
