Visit of Professor Kok-Kwang Phoon

It was a pleasure to welcome Professor Kok-Kwang Phoon from the Singapore University of Technology and Design to Seoul National University, co-hosted by Professor Junho Song.

During his visit, Professor Phoon delivered an invited lecture entitled ”Reducing uncertainties in site characterization for reliability-based design.“ He generously shared his valuable insights with our Geotechnical Group and Prof. Song’s Structural System Reliability Group, highlighting recent advances in probabilistic site characterization that integrate statistical inference, machine learning, and engineering judgment to better quantify and reduce these uncertainties.

We are very grateful for this wonderful opportunity and sincerely thank Professor Phoon for his inspiring visit.
