WELCOME!
I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at New York University Abu Dhabi. Previously, I was a postdoc fellow at the University of Zurich. I earned my Ph.D. in Political Science at the University of Wisconsin - Madison in 2021 with an award-winning dissertation.
My research interests lie at the intersection of international political economy, international organizations, and domestic politics. I am currently working on a book project which examines the dynamics among the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the mass public in a borrower country, and international investors. The book project is based on my Ph.D. dissertation, which won the Best Dissertation Award in IR at UW-Madison. Beyond the book project, I work on topics including international financial and monetary relations, investment agreements, and public opinion. My works are published or forthcoming at Comparative Political Studies, International Studies Quarterly, Review of International Organizations, and Review of International Political Economy among others.

I was born and raised in Seoul, South Korea. While I am based in Abu Dhabi most of the time, I frequently travel to the US and Europe. During the summer, I spend time in Seoul.
