Seolha Lee is an interdisciplinary researcher and practitioner with eight years of experience at the intersection of urban planning, data infrastructure, and qualitative methods. Currently a PhD student and Graduate Student Researcher at UC Irvine, she investigates how data analytics reshape urban governance and planning practices, translating technical insights into policy-relevant outcomes. Her background spans municipal tool development for San Francisco, spatial and open-data projects at regional commissions, and human-centered urban data research at Georgia Tech and KAIST. Trained in civil engineering, geography, and city planning, she brings both technical fluency in data systems and a deep grounding in participatory, community-focused design. Colleagues note her ability to turn messy urban data into interactive tools that reveal political and social dimensions often overlooked in conventional analytics.
