Youngjib Ham

Youngjib Ham received his master's in computer science and his PhD in civil engineering from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2014 and 2015, respectively. Ham’s interests are to build and manage smart cities including infrastructure systems and buildings through smart construction and management. He conducts basic research in areas that include sensing and data analytics (artificial intelligence (AI) and data science), information modeling/visualization and simulation (including digital twin and virtual reality), and human-robot interfaces. He applies this research to projects that include AI-driven disaster risk prediction, smart city digital twin for vulnerable populations such as older adults and specific regions, such as coastal communities.
