Welcome!

I study how international and domestic politics shape human rights and democratic norms (and vice versa). I use natural language processing, online survey experiments, and network analysis to address these questions. My dissertation addresses human rights rhetoric as a part of US diplomacy.

I am currently a PhD Candidate in Political Science at Emory University. Formerly, I was a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Data and Decision Sciences and Research Faculty Fellow at the Center of AI Learning at Emory University.

I have interests in policy-relevant research. I received my B.A. in English literature and linguistics from Sungkyunkwan University in Seoul, South Korea.
