Junho Chun’s research interests include structural design and topology optimization under natural hazard, random vibrations, systematic treatment of uncertainty, reliability and risk analysis, and resilient infrastructure design.
Previous work experience includes working for 3 years as a structural engineer at architectural and engineering firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM), LLP, in Chicago. There he was involved in diverse aspects of structural design from schematic designs to construction documents. He participated in projects around the world including 510-meter Busan Lotte Town Tower in Korea; 303-meter Jiangxi Nanchang Greenland Central Plaza, Jiangxi, China; 211-meter China Merchants Tower in Shenzhen, China; 303-meter Ninth Avenue Tower in New York, City, as well as the international design competition for 640-meter Seoul Light Digital Media City Tower in Seoul, Korea.
