Before obtaining my Ph.D. at the State University of New York at Binghamton in December 2022, I worked as a research officer for a policy advocacy NGO in the field of international development in South Korea from 2012 to 2014. My research focuses on international political economy and the domestic politics of foreign aid. My work is published or forthcoming in International Political Science Review, Studies in Comparative International Development, and Korean Public Administration Review.
