Sungsoon Hwang is an Assistant Professor of Geography at DePaul University. Her research mainly looks at housing, transportation, and its relationship using quantitative methods including Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Her interests move toward examining the role of space influencing urban sustainability. She is currently interested in developing fuzzy-set measures of spatial inequality, and developing GIS curriculum for sustainable development.
