About Me

I am a Research Professor in the Division of Advanced Nuclear Engineering at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH). My research focuses on assessing the impacts of emerging energy technologies. Specifically, I am interested in the challenges and economics of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), nuclear non-proliferation, and public acceptance of new energy technologies. My methodological approach combines statistical analysis, econometric modeling, text mining, and levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) assessment to address complex questions at the intersection of technology, policy, and society.

Through my research, I provide policy insights that connect technological innovation with public needs, supporting evidence-based energy policy and climate change mitigation.
