Community building
I love learning from other people who share similar research interests and building interdisciplinary communities. I have developed a large and growing network of collaborators across social sciences, data science, engineering, and design in the academic, public, and private institutions. I also have close relationships with several research labs across institutions: Johns Hopkins SNF Agora Institute’s P3 Lab (PI: Hahrie Han), Harvard Kennedy School’s Civic Power Lab (PI: Liz McKenna), Georgetown McCourt School and Michigan Ford School’s Better Government Lab (PI: Donald Moynihan, Pamela Herd, Sebastian Jilke, Eric Giannella, and Jeremy Barofsky) and UCLA’s Race, Ethnicity, Politics, & Society (REPS) Lab (PI: Efrén Pérez).
I have contributed to expanding the field of computational social science in both the U.S. and South Korea. I co-organized the first partner location of the Summer Institute in Computational Social Science (SICSS) in the Bay Area (2020, co-hosted by UC Berkeley and Stanford) and South Korea (2022, co-hosted by KAIST and KDI School). I currently serve on the advisory board of SICSS.
I have also served on panels on data science career paths at Stanford, UC Berkeley, and the International Conference on Computational Social Science (IC2S2).
