He was awarded thirteen times Outstanding Research Award for significant and lasting research contributions. He is the author of a recent book on Drones as Cyber-Physical Systems, Concepts and Applications for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, co-author of seven books on Spatial Information, and author of more than 100 journal publications (including two patents registered). He is trying to promote the importance of drones as a core infrastructure of the 4th Industrial Revolution era while offering as an online lecture the contents of this book (course title: future industry and job selection). His current research work is on UAV remote sensing as a cyber-physical system, the use of satellite data (GOSAT, OCO-2) in UN-REDD MRV requirements, and synergistic application research that combines with various disciplines such as law, economics, political science, and environmental science. As aphotographer and remote sensing practitioner, he began to intensively occupy himself with drones by the revolutionary prospect of being able to take aerial photographs at any time or any place. Over time, with a great deal of enthusiasm for this technology, he published a book about drones (2019, Drones as Cyber-Physical Systems, Concepts and Applications for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Springer Nature). He was a principal investigator in the various research projects that led to promoting geographic information to the general public. He was the program co-chair of the Organizing Committee of FOSS4G Seoul from 2013 to 2015.
