I was born in Jeju, Korea on September 25, 1974. I graduated from Ohyun High School in Jeju and moved to Seoul, Korea, in 1993 to attend Seoul National University, where I majored in Linguistics. I served in the Korean Army from May, 1996 to July, 1998. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Linguistics in 2000 and a Master of Arts degree in Linguistics in 2002 with a specialization in phonology. While pursuing a Ph.D. degree there, I participated in various research projects including one dubbed ASK REAL (The Altaic Society of Korea-Researches on the Endangered Altaic languages), which laid the empirical foundation for my Ph.D. research at Cornell University from 2005 to 2012. In 2012 I joined Queens College, City University of New York, as assistant professor of Korean language and linguistics in the Department of Classical, Middle Eastern, and Asian Languages & Cultures. <BR><BR>
