About

Hi, I'm Sangwon. I am a quantitative social scientist and Ph.D. student in Public Administration and Policy at American University School of Public Affairs.

I situate my work at the intersection of organizational theory and behavior, behavioral public administration, and computational social science.

My research agenda focuses on two core questions: (1) how organizational design, especially organizational structure, and managerial practices jointly shape organizational outcomes; and (2) how emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence transform bureaucratic behavior and citizens’ evaluations of public organizations at the street level. My research is theory-driven and employs rigorous empirical strategies, including quasi-experimental methods, survey-based experiments, and computational methods like text analysis.
