About me

I am a Visiting Assistant Professor of Finance at Cornell University.

My primary research interests are banking, empirical corporate finance, and corporate payouts.

Prior to joining Cornell, I was an Assistant Professor (tenure-track) of Finance at Monash University until 2025.

I hold a Bachelor of Business Administration and an M.S. in Finance from Seoul National University, and a Ph.D. in Finance from The Ohio State University.
