Byunghee Yoo

Ph.D. Student
Seoul National University
Department of Architecture
& Architectural Engineering

I am a Ph.D. researcher at Seoul National University (SNU). I received my bachelor’s degree from Dankook University in 2023 and my master’s degree from SNU in 2025, respectively. I am currently located in Seoul, Korea, and work as a researcher in Seoul National University Construction Engineering & Management Lab. (SNUCEM).

My research focuses on leveraging LLMs to automate tasks in construction engineering and management. Recently, I conducted research on this topic and published a paper.
