Welcome! I obtained a Ph.D. in Political Science and International Relations (POIR) from the University of Southern California (USC) in June 2022. I will be joining the FSI-Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center (APARC) at Stanford University as a Postdoctoral Fellow in Fall 2022.
My dissertation examines the variations in patterns of security cooperation in the Asia-Pacific along with the rise of China using network analysis and case studies. I am particularly interested in increasing security cooperation activities in the region and its implications for regional peace and stability, and the US and China’s grand strategy toward Asia. My other projects examine South Korea's middle power foreign policy. My research has appeared in the International Politics. I completed a MA in Asian Studies at Georgetown University and a BA in International Relations from Ewha Womans University in Seoul, South Korea. Previously, I was a US-Asia Grand Strategy Predoctoral Fellow at the USC Korean Studies Institute (2019-2021). I also served as a contributing author of ‘Korea-Japan relations’ for Comparative Connections, a triannual e-journal of bilateral relations in the Indo-Pacific published by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) Pacific Forum. |
