Chang Gyo Jung

Biography

Chang Gyo Jung is interested in understanding how ecosystem respond to various environmental conditions as an ecosystem modeling scientist. With his expertise of micro-scaled response within soil systems, his research focused on integrating new algorithms into soil nutrient decomposition modules in ecosystem models.
