Hello! 안녕!
I am a joint Ph.D. student in Public Policy at the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter School of Public Policy, Georgia Institute of Technology and the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies, Georgia State University. My advisor is Gordon Kingsley.
RESEARCH
My interests are broadly in innovation and entrepreneurship, organization theory (public administration), and policy process.
My research focuses on how public organizations partner with external actors to create public value, examining:
how public organizations create new structures and processes to leverage external knowledge and resources,
how public organizations manage tensions from hybrid organizing, and
the role of the state in the governance of great transformations.
My current work includes:
Developing a framework for the management of public asset delivery networks
Analyzing how governments can induce entrepreneurship from firms in public-private partnerships
The effects of outsourcing core competencies on organizational structure and organizational control
Open innovation strategies in state transportation agencies in the US
How transformative innovation policies alter the politics of science and technology policy
The effects of philanthropic funding of police departments on police discretion
Previously, I have also researched mental health systems.
BACKGROUND
My work has been supported by grants and scholarships from the Mercatus Center Frédéric Bastiat Fellowship, APPAM Entrepreneurship Policy Fellowship (Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation), GSU AYSPS Andrew Young Fellowship, National Research Foundation of Korea, Yonsei Center for Social Innovation, and Yonsei University.
I have also served as a researcher or consultant for the Ministry of the Interior and Safety of South Korea, Science & Technology Policy Institute (STEPI) of South Korea, Korea Information Society Development Institute (KISDI), Korea Forest Service, P4G (Partnering for Green Growth and the Global Goals 2030), National Center for Mental Health of South Korea, and Georgia Department of Transportation.
Prior to embarking on my doctoral studies, I worked at a South Korean social tech start-up (featured in the Stanford Social Innovation Review), leading its social impact management and international business development. I have a M.A. in Public Administration and a B.A. in Science, Technology, and Policy both from Yonsei University (South Korea).
