Proceedings of 6th International Conference on Civil Engineering and Architecture, Vol. 2: Proceedings of Iccea 2023

Dr. Thomas Kang is a professor in the Department of Architecture and Architectural Engineering and the Interdisciplinary Program in Artificial Intelligence at Seoul National University, Korea. Prior to that, he was a professor in the School of Civil Engineering and Environmental Science at the University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK, USA. He has held various affiliated positions in the USA and Japan, including an adjunct professor at the University of Oklahoma, an adjunct professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, a visiting professor and lecturer at UCLA, and the lecturer at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, the University of Cape Town and the University of Tokyo. Prof. Kang received his PhD from UCLA, his MS from Michigan State University, and his BS from Seoul National University. Prof. Kang is a Fellow of Post-Tensioning Institute (PTI) and a Fellow of American Concrete Institute (ACI). Prof. Kang received the Kenneth B. Bondy Award for Most Meritorious Technical Paper as Lead Author from PTI twice in 2023 and 2012, the Wason Medal for Most Meritorious Paper as Lead Author from ACI in 2009, and the Martin P. Korn Award as a responsible author from Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI) in 2023. Prof. Kang is an editor-in-chief for Wind and Structures and an associate editor for PTI Journal of Post-Tensioning Institute. He has chaired many sessions/symposiums of structural engineering; delivered many keynote/invited speeches; and organized international conferences/workshops as a chair. Additionally, Dr. Kang has done a lot of practice as a consulting engineer in Korea and the US, he had a working experience in California prior to joining the academia, and he was a licensed Professor Engineer (PE) in California.

Prof. Youngjin Lee is a faculty of the Boston Architectural College in Massachusetts, USA, and a co-founder and CEO at D.TO, Inc. in Massachusetts, USA, as a licensed architect with 23 plus years of experience. He received a BS (1998) in Aeronautical Engineering from Seoul National University, Korea, a BS (2000) in Architecture from the same school, and an M.Arch (2007) from School of Architecture at Yale University, U.S. Prof. Lee is a member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), a member of Boston Society of Architects (BSA), and a member of US Green Building Council (USGBC). He is also a peer reviewer of international journals including Nexus Network Journal and Architectural Research and a research project reviewer of National Research Foundation of Korea. Prof. Lee's research stems from his experience in both academia and practice, and efforts to improve design methodology, which offers design possibilities through integrative design media and generative algorithms. He has published in many journals including Architectural Research, Journal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering, Automation in Construction, Nexus Network Journal, and Advances in Computational Design, and presented his works at International Conference on Sustainable Building Asia 2016, AIA Conference on Architecture 2017, and ASHRAE 2017 Building Performance Analysis Conference. As a co-founder and CEO at D.TO, he is developing a BIM-integrated collaborative knowledge-sharing platform for carbon-neutral design in the AEC.
