I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Political Science at UCLA, where I also completed my Master's degree in Statistics and Data Science. I am on the 2026–27 academic job market.

My research develops statistical methods for causal inference under extrapolation and partial identification, with applications to interrupted time series, synthetic control, and outcomes that are endogenously non-existent. Substantively, I study how political and institutional contexts shape mass behavior and intergroup attitudes in the United States, particularly how citizens respond to landmark legal change and how they form attitudes about immigrants and minority groups.

I am an affiliate at the Practical Causal Inference Lab, the Inequality Data Science Lab, and the California Center for Population Research at UCLA. Before coming to UCLA, I received my MA in Political Science and BA in Economics and Political Science from Seoul National University.
