About

Dr. Un Ji received her Ph.D. degree in Civil Engineering at Colorado State University in 2006. She was a postdoctoral fellow and a research professor at Myongji University in Korea before starting her career at Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT) as a research fellow in 2012 and also at the University of Science and Technology (UST) in Korea as a professor in 2015. Dr. Ji’s research activities focus on sediment transport and morphological changes in streamflow. Her recent research projects have investigated the interaction between flow, vegetation, and morphological changes in vegetated channels based on the stream scale experiment facility of KICT River Experiment Center (REC). The fundamental and applied research has been supported by the National Research Foundation, Korea Agency for Infrastructure Technology Advancement, Ministry of Environment, and Ministry of Science and ICT in Korea. Dr. Ji is widely recognized as an expert in river hydraulics and engineering since he actively engaged in diverse water-related activities such as the National Water Resources Management Committee and the Regional Stream Management Committee.
