After majoring in business administration as an undergraduate, I was curious to learn more about theories and models that could explain the mechanics and operations of the world economics. So I decided to study economics. I hold two master's degrees in economics and Ph.D. in Economics at the University of Oregon. I'm currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Dartmouth College.

It was during my two-year experience as a full-time Research Associate at Lee & Ko (top-tier premier-law firm in Korea) that I was first exposed to various anti-competitive issues. I wanted to learn more about them by pursing a doctorate degree. Imposing a structure to tackle microeconomic issues combined with my general curiosity to explore the rise of a tech firm gaining market power intrigued me to research further on topics related to industrial organization. I wish to formulate models that explain the dynamics among tech firms in platform economies and how they play into the competition landscape.

I am willing to relocate for a job. In fact, I enjoy working in different geographical locations. I did my first internship at Institutional Shareholder Service in Melbourne, Australia, the second internship from Arthur D. Little management consulting firm from Seoul, Korea, and the third internship at UNESCO Regional Bureau of Latin America and Caribbean located in Montevideo, Uruguay.
