Roy Hyunjin Han was a Lead Software Engineer on a team creating web-based tools for planning infrastructure. The tools automate the acquisition of geospatial information from satellite imagery using machine learning. Furthermore, the tools recommend infrastructure choice and placement using pricing models and optimization algorithms pioneered by the lab. He has developed software for industries ranging from retail and neurogenetics to technology transfer and airline reservation systems.
