I am an Assistant Professor of Media and Cultural Studies at Korea University and a media theorist working across film, media, and cultural studies. My research asks how screens and other media forms organize capital, alterity, judgment, and human agency.

Rather than treating East Asia simply as a regional object of study, I work through Korean and Chinese screen cultures as sites from which broader media theory can be developed. My research spans transnational media, media philosophy, law and justice, religion and shamanism, and human–AI relations.

Prior to joining Korea University, I held academic appointments and taught at Yale University, Harvard University, and Stanford University. At Harvard, my teaching was recognized with an award for Teaching Excellence. Beyond the university, I am also the Founder and CEO of Seed Consultancy.
