Welcome!

I am an Assistant Professor of International Political Economy in the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.

My research examines the politics of trade, foreign economic policymaking, and economic sanctions. One of my works has been published in International Studies Quarterly. Building on work I began during my postdoctoral position, I am currently developing a comprehensive database that codes all government-mandated restrictions imposed by the US, EU, and UN on international flows of goods, services, capital, investment, finance, travel, media, and diplomacy from 1992 to 2024.

I hold a Ph.D. in Government and Politics from the University of Maryland and B.A. and M.A. degrees in International Relations from Seoul National University. Before joining NTU, I was a postdoctoral scholar at Arizona State University, working on the NSF-supported project "Government-imposed Restrictions on International Economic Relations" (co-PIs: Timothy Peterson and Dursun Peksen).
