My research interest center around International Relations, International Security, and Comparative Politics, with a particular focus on Eurasia, and Northeast and Central Asia. Topics I address in my course include global and regional security, economics/IPE, and the developing world order. Currently, I study great power engagements in the security framework on the Korean Peninsula (Six-Party Talks). I presented my findings at the Annual Convention of the Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies (ASEEES), the International Conference on Economics, Management and Social Science, and a number of forums on transborder regional business engagement.
