I am a comparativist studying how politics shape behavior within state institutions, with a focus on bureaucratic and military organizations. My geographical specialty 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.
