Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, Nanyang Technological University. I hold a Ph.D. in Government and Politics from the University of Maryland and B.A. and M.A. degrees in International Relations from Seoul National University. Before joining NTU, I was a postdoctoral scholar in the School of Politics and Global Studies at Arizona State University before joining NTU in 2025.
My research spans several areas within International Political Economy, including the political economy of trade, U.S. foreign economic policymaking, firms’ political behavior in global value chains, and economic sanctions. Together with my postdoctoral supervisors, I am currently developing a novel database on government-mandated economic restrictions from the U.S., the EU, and the UN, covering the entire post–Cold War era. This effort is part of the “Government-Imposed Restrictions on International Economic Relations” project, funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation. The database will be made publicly available in June 2026.
