I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Quantitative Political Science. I study comparative political behavior, with a focus on political socialisation, intergroup relations, and political participation. In my dissertation, I investigate the impact of various education policies on citizens' social and political attitudes towards ethnic outgroups within their countries. These include (1) the language of instruction in schools, (2) civic and citizenship education, and (3) the types of books that students read in schools.
Methodologically, my research employs a range of causal inference techniques, including natural and survey experiments, to evaluate how a variety of policy reforms influence several individual political outcomes, including political participation, intergroup relations, gender equality, and immigration-related preferences. My research has been supported by the American Political Science Association (APSA) Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grant, and has appeared in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
I will receive my PhD in Political Science from Washington University in St. Louis in May 2024. Prior to my PhD program at Washington University in St. Louis, I graduated with an M.A in Political Science and International Studies from Yonsei University, and a Bachelor's degree (B.Soc.Sci) in Political Science from the National University of Singapore.
