About Me
Dr. Won Hee Ko is an Assistant Professor at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. Her research focuses on integrated analysis of indoor environmental quality for architectural design with an aim to improve occupant comfort, well-being and productivity. Prior to joining NJIT, she worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for the Built Environment, UC Berkeley, where she also earned her Ph.D. degree in Architecture, with a specialization in Building Science, Technology and Sustainability. Won Hee has professional experience at Buro Happold Engineering (facade and computation analysis teams). She received her BArch from Yonsei University, South Korea, and her MS in Building Science from the University of Southern California.
