I study bureaucratic politics and civil-military relations around the world. I also maintain broad interest in Korean & East Asian politics, 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.
