Welcome! I am a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Government at the London School of Economics and Political Science.
My research uses formal models to study how institutions shape the relationship between politicians and citizens across different political environments.
I have successfully defended my PhD in Politics and expect to receive my degree from New York University in 2025.
Prior to beginning my doctoral studies, I earned my Bachelor's degree in Political Science and International Relations from Hanyang University in Seoul, South Korea, in 2018.
Please find my latest CV here.
