Sangcheol Moon

PhD student, Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management

Bio: Sangcheol is interested in feedstock resources and materials loop modeling under the scenario of institutional regulation to support circular economy, Industrial ecology, green chemistry, and the design and implementation mechanisms of public policy and diffusion of technological innovation. She is also interested in firms’ sustainability decision making mechanisms to incorporate and influence environmental regulatory framework. Sangcheol intends to make meaningful contributions to lower the barriers that impede the implementation of green technologies and foster business driven innovation by designing new business models that support the economically efficient and ecologically effective use of resources. Prior to her MA, Sangcheol worked at LG Economic Research Institute in Seoul focusing on the chemicals industry and sustainable business management. She earned her B.S. and M.S. from Seoul National University. In her free time, Sangcheol loves playing with her kids, cooking, and listening to classical music.
