I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics and Dean of International Affairs at Dongguk University. My research and policy experience focus on financial stability, market structure, and emerging digital financial risks, with particular attention to how policy decisions, including monetary policy, transmit through financial markets and institutions.

My work bridges academic research and policy practice, drawing on experience across central banking, financial supervision, and market institutions. My work focuses on assessing systemic vulnerabilities and macro-financial linkages that shape how policy actions influence financial markets, financial intermediaries, and households—particularly during periods of structural change and financial innovation.

I received my Ph.D. in Economics from Yale University under the supervision of Professor Gary B. Gorton. My doctoral research examined the evolution of financial markets and the role of securitization in the shadow banking system during the global financial crisis. Prior to joining Dongguk University, I served as a Research Fellow at the Korea Capital Market Institute and as an Assistant Professor at KAIST, and and served as Assistant Secretary to the President for Economic Policy.
