I study behavioral political economy, with a focus on issues related to culture, identities, and norms 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.
