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

My research interests are in macroeconomics, with a particular focus on retirement and Social Security. I am especially interested in how retirement behavior and Social Security policy shape household decisions and broader macroeconomic outcomes.

My current work studies retirement and Social Security financing. Additional details are available on the research page, and my CV is available here.
