About me
My name is Yoojun Kim, but feel free to call me Jun. I am a PhD candidate in Construction Science and a ME student in Computer Engineering at Texas A&M University, expecting to graduate from both programs in May 2025.
My research is centered around Human-Environment Interaction, leveraging Digital Twin (DT) solutions to advance smarter and more resilient cities and construction practices. Under the guidance of my PhD advisor, Dr. Youngjib Ham, I am exploring how DT solutions can contribute to advancements in the field.
