I am a PhD candidate at the Chungnam National University, South Korea. I am interested in many aspects of freshwater ecosystems, specifically ecological health assessments of streams and rivers, nutrients, and algal chlorophyll dynamics in reservoirs and lakes, species distribution modeling, exotic fish species assessment, longitudinal connectivity assessment of rivers and streams, remote sensing and machine learning approaches. I like to utilize my interdisciplinary academic knowledge and practical experience to provide a holistic perspective on environmental management issues for rivers, streams, lakes, and reservoirs, ensuring that expected outcomes can be achieved with rational exceptions
