Welcome!

I am a political scientist specializing in comparative political economy, with primary interests in wealth inequality and representation. In my work, I investigate the impact of wealth inequality on the behavior of different political actors, such as parties, legislators, and voters, using diverse computational tools, such as machine learning and geospatial analysis. 

I hold a Ph.D. degree in Political Science from the University of Pittsburgh. Previously I was a Visiting Assistant Professor at the College of William & Mary's Department of Government and worked with AidData as a Data Analyst.

Prior to my doctoral studies, I served for the Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Korean Delegation to the OECD in France. I also worked as a consultant at the UN-APCICT in Korea and conducted research on foreign aid at the Asia Foundation in Malaysia.
