Master Student in Civil and Environmental Engineering
I'm Seunghwan Lee. I completed my degree in Civil, Urban, Earth and Environmental Engineering at UNIST, and I'm starting a master's in geotechnical engineering at KAIST, in Professor Gye-Chun Cho's GeoSystem Lab. My path wasn't linear — I started at Konkuk University in 2020, briefly in Industrial Engineering, but kept returning to the same questions. Military service made them concrete: as a facility engineer in the Air Force, I was deployed to the 2023 Yecheon landslide recovery site and saw slope failure firsthand. That set my direction toward geotechnical engineering. After discharge, I transferred to UNIST and worked on slope stability and numerical analysis in Professor Jongmuk Won's SSG Lab. In early 2026, as a visiting researcher at KAIST's GELA Lab under Professor Tae-Hyuk Kwon, hands-on experimental work sharpened the question I now carry forward: how soil behavior is measured and modeled. What draws me to geotechnical engineering is uncertainty — soil resists clean prediction, yet the infrastructure we depend on rests on how well we can characterize it. Narrowing that gap is what I want to work on in Professor Cho's lab.
