Welcome to my website.
I am an Assistant Professor in the Graduate School of Public Administration at Seoul National University.
My research fields are public financial management and health policy. My current research projects examine the fiscal costs and health impacts of public health emergencies and extreme weather. I am particularly interested in the roles of public health insurance programs and other social safety net programs in mitigating the adverse effects of public crises. I also study how different levels of governments co-finance public health insurance programs in a federal system. My other topics of interest include the administration and citizens’ perceptions of local property tax.
I received my Ph.D. in public administration from the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University in 2019. Prior to starting my doctoral degree, I worked as a research assistant at the National Assembly Budget Office in Seoul, South Korea.
