JESEON YOO received his bachelor’s degree from Seoul National University in 2002, his master’s degree from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in August 2002, and his Ph.D. from the Georgia Institute of Technology in December 2007. Dr. Yoo’s research specializes in the remote observation and numerical modeling of coastal disaster phenomena, with particular emphasis on coastal wave dynamics, storm impacts, and disaster prediction. He has contributed to advancing methods for wave measurement, surf-zone processes, and coastal morphology through both field-based observations and numerical modeling approaches. He is currently affiliated with the Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology (KIOST) and continues to pursue research on predictive modeling and remote sensing of coastal disasters
