She is a medical researcher specializing in preventive medicine and nutritional epidemiology with expertise in food systems, chronic disease, and environmental health. She earned her Ph.D. in Preventive Medicine from Hanyang University’s College of Medicine in February 2024, after completing her M.S. (2021) and B.S. (2019) in Food and Nutrition at the same institution. In 2024, she also completed the Advanced Leadership Research Program (ALRP) in ESG Compliance at Seoul National University, broadening her perspective on sustainability and compliance.
Since 2019, she has actively pursued research at Hanyang University, focusing on the intersection of nutrition, epidemiology, and climate change. Her major contributions include establishing the Korean Green Taxonomy of Foods, based on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across food systems, and developing sustainable diet standards for the Korean population. She has also led studies linking diet-related GHG emissions to cardiometabolic diseases, created a comprehensive GHG food database, and conducted systematic reviews and meta-analyses on the health impacts of dietary emissions, contributing evidence at the nexus of climate change and public health.
She has demonstrated leadership as principal investigator of multiple projects supported by the National Research Foundation of Korea, including a five-year project (2024–2029) on sustainable diet standards and an earlier project (2022–2024) on GHG emissions and cardiometabolic health. She was also a trainee of the Ministry of Environment’s Young Scientist Course in 2021, receiving advanced training in epidemiological and environmental health research.
