I am an associate professor of economics at KAIST College of Business in South Korea. I am interested in microeconomics, behavioral & experimental economics, industrial organization, political economy, and social networks. I received my B.S. in mathematics and B.A. in economics from Yonsei University in South Korea. Under the direction of Professor Leeat Yariv, I completed my PhD in the social sciences (equiv. PhD in economics) at the California Institute of Technology in 2016. Subsequently, I was hired as an assistant professor of economics at Kyung Hee University in South Korea, and I have been at KAIST College of Business since 2018.
