Woo-Sik Jung is a professor in the Department of Atmospheric Environmental Information Engineering at Inje University, South Korea, and serves as Director of both the Typhoon Ready Center and the Atmospheric Environment Information Research Center. Their research focuses on predicting and diagnosing potential disasters caused by extreme weather events—particularly typhoons—from the perspective of disaster prevention and preparedness. They co-developed the Typhoon-Ready System, a region-specific forecasting and risk assessment platform designed to reduce the damage caused by typhoon-related disasters, in collaboration with Prof. Hana Na. Their broader interests include mesoscale atmospheric modeling, hazard analysis, and climate-related risk reduction strategies.
