Hello!

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Virginia's Darden School of Business.

My research is aimed at answering the following question: What motivates workers and how does it impact workplace dynamics? Accordingly, my research interests include Artificial Intelligence, Workplace Environments, Power & Status Dynamics, and Decision-making.

Prior to joining the academia, I worked in the finance industry, and as a journalist at Bloomberg covering corporate governance issues at major chaebols (i.e., South Korea’s family-run conglomerates), and Korea’s auto industry.
