Research

I am a postdoctoral research associate for the X-Grant Project, Pathways to Sustainable Urban Water Security: Desalination and Water Reuse in the 21st Century. My long-standing research interest is to examine the governance of socio-technical system toward sustainability by focusing on how innovative environmental technologies are developed, diffused, and implemented in contemporary society. My doctoral dissertation research explored how to promote and govern socio-technical systems transitions toward sustainability drawing on the experience of implementation of Eco-Industrial Parks in South Korea and Japan. The current research project explores how desalination and wastewater reuse technologies deliver sustainability transition of urban water systems by using systematic review, global production network analysis, and social network analysis.
