01 — ABOUT

About

Through GIS, I give data its spatial context and deliver that meaning in a form that can be put to use in the field.

I majored in GIS and remote sensing at the Graduate School of Environmental Studies, Seoul National University, combining research and teaching with spatial data.

My main teaching areas are QGIS basics & advanced analysis, map visualization, QGIS × Python automation, PostGIS large-scale queries, remote sensing analysis.
