Research summary
AI-generated

Dongwon Ki's research spans environmental engineering and sustainability topics, including waste-to-resource strategies (using sludge ash, combustible waste, and plastics in construction materials), microbial and electrochemical systems for wastewater treatment (such as microbial fuel cells and anaerobic digestion), and more recently urban environment analysis using street-view imagery and machine learning to study pedestrian safety and economic impacts of infrastructure. The work generally connects environmental science with practical applications in waste management, water treatment, and urban planning.
