I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Observatory on Social Media (OSoMe) at Indiana University Bloomington.
My research interests lie in technological innovation, with a biological perspective to explain its evolutionary characteristics.
My work explores the question by drawing on large-scale academic and patent data such as bibliographic information, citations, and researchers’ collaboration. My work focuses on unpacking the factors that contribute to successful innovation.

Geometrics of the adjacent possible: Harvesting values at the curvature
(with Hyejin Youn)
The study provides a quantitative framework for the present of the past to map the contours of areas where novel ideas arise in the presence of the power of typicality. The analysis uses US patents granted between 1976 and 2010.

Knowledge-Integrated Research Is More Disruptive When Supported by Homogeneous Funding Sources: A Case of US Federally Funded Research in Biomedical and Life Sciences
(with So Young Kim)
The study demonstrates that a paper combining diverse research subjects disrupts sciences more when supported by government funding agencies within the same government department, using US federally funded papers between 1975 and 2005 in biomedical and life sciences.
