Biography

I am a fifth-year Ph.D. Candidate in Economics at Iowa State University. Before Ph.D., I obtained my bachelor’s and master’s degree from Hanyang University, Seoul, South Korea.

My areas of interests are macroeconomics with a focus on understanding the macroeconomic implications of demographic transitions and family economics, including fertility and retirement decisions.

I will be on the 2025-2026 academic job market. My C.V. is available here.
