About
I am an Assistant Professor of Organization Theory and Entrepreneurship at the Tepper School of Business, Carnegie Mellon University. I study the role of entrepreneurship in society, specifically how and when it operates as a channel for upward mobility and as a solution to social problems. My work has been published in peer-reviewed academic journals including Management Science, PNAS, and Academy of Management Discoveries, and has been covered by Harvard Business Review, Forbes, TechCrunch, and Scientific American.
I received my PhD in Management at Columbia Business School, MS in Strategy and BBA from Seoul National University. I grew up in Upstate New York and Seoul, Korea, and currently live in Pittsburgh. When I am not doing research, I enjoy rowing and spending time with my dog Ravioli.
