Welcome!

I am a Visiting Assistant Professor at the College of William & Mary's Department of Government. My research specializes 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 completed my PhD at the University of Pittsburgh. I also hold a Master of Public Administration from the University of Michigan. Previously, 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 researched foreign aid at the Asia Foundation in Malaysia.
