Undergraduate Student in Civil and Environmental Engineering
I am Seunghwan Lee. I recently completed my undergraduate studies at UNIST in Civil, Urban, Earth and Environmental Engineering, and I am preparing to pursue a master's in geotechnical engineering. My path here was not linear. I began at Konkuk University in 2020, briefly moved to Industrial Engineering, and kept returning to the same questions.
Military service made those questions concrete. I served as a facility engineer in a maintenance unit of the Republic of Korea Air Force, mostly handling routine repairs and upkeep. During that time, I worked at the recovery site of the 2023 Yecheon landslide and saw the consequences of slope failure directly. That experience turned my interest toward geotechnical engineering.
After discharge, I transferred to UNIST and joined the SSG Lab under Professor Jongmuk Won, where I worked on two projects in slope stability and numerical analysis. Since early 2026, I have been a visiting researcher at the GELA Lab at KAIST, under Professor Tae-hyuk Kwon.
What draws me to geotechnical engineering is uncertainty. Soil is heterogeneous and resistant to clean prediction, yet the infrastructure we depend on rests on our ability to characterize it. Narrowing that gap is the problem I want to work on.
