Seungeun Choi

I am pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computational and Data Sciences at George Mason University Korea. My work focuses on integrating artificial intelligence, remote sensing, and GIS technologies to address urban climate challenges and promote sustainable city planning. I have contributed to environmental international organisations, including work at the East Asian–Australasian Flyway Partnership (EAAFP), the Loss and Damage Fund under the UNFCCC, and the Green Climate Fund (GCF). My recent research focuses on developing AI-powered GIS models to support ecological restoration and climate resilience. I worked on blue carbon assessment in Songdo and comparable coastal environments, using remote sensing indicators such as NDVI and elevation data to propose restoration priority zones for carbon-neutral urban development. In collaboration with Incheon Metropolitan City, I developed GIS-based models for post-wildfire restoration from an ecological perspective, aiming to enhance urban resilience and inform policy for future climate disaster recovery efforts. As a Junior Fellow at the Center for Security Policy Studies Korea (CSPS-K), I explored data-driven climate policy strategies that integrate urban ecology and security concerns. I aim to bridge data science and urban ecology to provide evidence-based solutions for climate-adaptive urban development and ecological restoration planning.
