I study behavioral political economy, with a focus on issues related to group identities in political, bureaucratic, and military spheres. My geographical focus is South Korea and East Asia.
To fulfill the military service duty as a South Korean male citizen while working on my dissertation project, I am working as a lecturer of military history (first lieutenant) at Korea Army Academy from June 2024 to May 2027. I am particularly excited about this valuable opportunity to improve my teaching skills and also conduct fieldwork in the country of my academic interest.
