Ph.D. Candidate My research focuses on investigating the process of how ancient population relocated and reorganized themselves differently in response to changing social and political conditions, particularly during periods of warfare and migration. I am currently interested in understanding the dynamic relationship between local community and state authority shaping the socio-political transformations during phases often described as “state formation" and "collapse.” To investigate these processes, I employ radiocarbon dating, pottery analysis and settlement pattern analysis. I received both Master's and Bachelor's degree from Seoul National University. In my Master's thesis, I examined the chronology and management of urban settlement sites in the early Korean states.
