I study informal institutions & norms, civil-military relations,and Korean & East Asian politics. I also maintain broad academic interest in political psychology and survey & experimental methods.
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.
