Hi, I am an Economics PhD candidate at UConn and the teaching assistant for PP5347 Applied Policy Issues. My research focuses on labor supply, spanning experimental work on its measurement and empirical work on workers’ responses to generative AI.

Prior to my PhD, I completed a bachelor’s degree in Political Science and Economics at the University of Rochester and a master’s degree in Development Policy at the KDI School of Public Policy and Management. I also worked as a research assistant at the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea, the Korea Labor Institute, and the KDI School Impact Evaluation Team, where I contributed to a World Bank Group project.

At UConn, I served as the instructor of record for Game Theory and Intermediate Microeconomic Theory for five semesters.
