He is closely working in the programmes of MSc/BEng (Hons) Civil Engineering and Graduate Apprenticeship (GA)-BEng (Hons) Civil Engineering, while contributing to other BEng programmes. In addition, he is a key member of Construction Innovation and Built Environment Research (CIBER) Group at UWS. Prior to joining UWS, Dr Bae served as a Visiting Lecturer and Instructor of Record in the Department of Construction Science at Texas A&M University-College Station in the United States.

Dr Bae received degrees of BSc in Architectural Engineering (Summa Cum Laude, Ranked 1/61) from Hanyang University-ERICA and MSc in Architectural Engineering from Hanyang University, South Korea. He then earned his PhD degree (Construction Management Emphasis) from Texas A&M University His doctoral research was fully focused on creating, testing and validating a Machine-Learning-based spatiotemporal Decision-Support framework that learns and predicts the Mobility Impact of critical Highway Construction Work Zones by training Multi-Contextual Big Data.

• PhD Thesis: A Multi-Contextual Approach to Modeling the Impact of Critical Highway Work Zones in Large Urban Corridors
• MSc Dissertation: Reinforcement Steel Design applying Set-based Design Methodology to Flat Plate in the Structural BIM (S-BIM) Environment
• BSc Dissertation: Optimal Weight Design of Steel Structure followed by Selection of Member Section on Adaptive Simulated Annealing

Dr Bae is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) in the UK, Member of the Korean Scientists and Engineers Association in the UK (KSEAUK), and Associate Member of the American Society of Civil Engineers (A.M.ASCE).
