About Me

Hello! I am a second-year PhD student in the Operations, Information, and Decisions Department at The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania.

I broadly study topics in retail and behavioral operations management, with a particular focus for healthy eating. My current research looks at how retailer choice sets under a major food subsidy program in the US (SNAP) affect program effectiveness.

I was born in Seoul, South Korea. Prior to my doctoral studies, I received my B.B.A. in Business Administration, B.A. in Economics, and a minor in Mathematics from Seoul National University.
