"Designing Cities with the Brain in Mind"
My research explores how the built environment shapes human cognition and emotion by integrating neuroscience, architectural design, and urban informatics.
I was a PhD Visiting Scholar in Experimental Psychology at University College London (UCL), collaborating with Prof. Hugo Spiers on the NeuroDesign Index (NDIX). I am currently a Research Specialist at RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, investigating the neurobiological impacts of architectural and urban environments.
I also collaborate with Cambridge University and Heatherwick Studio on the Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism, and work with KICT on EEG- and BCI-based technologies for smart construction.
EEG (brainwave), Eye-tracking, Virtual Reality (VR) — measuring how spaces feel from the inside out.
Machine learning, Geo Spatial Data (GIS), Statistics, Big data — finding patterns in urban complexity.
Metaverse, Virtual World, Built environment, Human behavior, Pedestrian environment, Walkable streets.
