I joined the LSE International History Department as an MPhil/PhD student in September 2016 and graduated in 2021. My research tries to link post-war Japanese peace settlement with the various developments around the world after the end of WWII. I am particularly interested in how the Cold War conflict in Europe influenced the formation of the Treaty of Peace with Japan. Before coming to LSE, I studied at Macalester College as an undergraduate Anthropology major, and later went to Seoul National University for MA in International Studies.
