About

I am a Research Fellow at the Korea Economic Research Institute. My research focuses on international trade and multinational firms. More broadly, I am interested in questions related to economic development, including how trade and trade policy affect resource use in agriculture.

I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Agricultural, Food, and Resource Economics at Michigan State University, with a dual major in Economics, in 2026. I earned my M.A. and B.S. from Seoul National University.

Outside of research, I enjoy traveling and cycling.
