My name is Simon Yoon and I am a PhD candidate at the Paul Merage School of Business at University of California, Irvine (UCI).

My research is at the intersection of entrepreneurship, human capital, and labor markets. In one research stream, I study how the background and experience of entrepreneurs influence venture scaling and performance.  In another research stream, I explore how entrepreneurs can hire and manage employees to boost innovation.

Other than research, I enjoy traveling, hiking, and watching sports. I also have a passion for volunteering.
