Han has diverse experience teaching undergraduate and graduate-level planning and landscape architecture courses at multiple institutions. Her teaching, research, and practical experiences can be viewed through a shared lens of equity and inclusion, embodied by extensive experiences engaging with local communities, especially communities of color in the U.S., understanding their experiences in the built environment, and their fundamental needs when navigating everyday life. Hanâs research develops from two under-explored themes within urban systems: soundscape and food systems. Her dissertation investigates the role of soundscape in outdoor learning environments. Additionally, she is a researcher at the Kaufman Lab, examining the impacts of farmersâ markets on local and regional food systems. Professionally, Han has worked at the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to develop general management plans for state parks. She has also contributed to various local and regional design and research projects in Michigan, Wisconsin, California, and Missouri and abroad in China.

Han has diverse experience teaching undergraduate and graduate-level planning and landscape architecture courses at multiple institutions. Her teaching, research, and practical experiences can be viewed through a shared lens of equity and inclusion, embodied by extensive experiences engaging with local communities, especially communities of color in the U.S., understanding their experiences in the built environment, and their fundamental needs when navigating everyday life. Hanâs research develops from two under-explored themes within urban systems: soundscape and food systems. Her dissertation investigates the role of soundscape in outdoor learning environments. Additionally, she is a researcher at the Kaufman Lab, examining the impacts of farmersâ markets on local and regional food systems.
