About

I am a PhD candidate in Information Systems at the National University of Singapore, advised by Professor Jungpil Hahn. My research sits at the intersection of information systems and organization theory, with a focus on emerging forms of organizing in blockchain-based, AI-embedded, and self-organizing contexts.

My work examines how digital and decentralized arrangements shape collective decision-making, innovation, and organizational adaptability. In particular, I study two broad questions: how decentralized organizations aggregate knowledge and make decisions, and how distributed expertise shapes problem-solving in crowds. Methodologically, I work primarily with analytical and computational models, including agent-based modeling, and I also draw on reduced-form econometrics where appropriate.

My dissertation, The Future of Decentralization: Coordination Mechanisms and Favorable Boundaries, investigates when decentralized governance improves or undermines adaptive capacity. One stream of this work develops theory on organizational learning through digital consensus in DAO-like systems. Another examines knowledge-structured search in crowdsourcing, with attention to knowledge breadth, depth, and problem complexity.

More broadly, I am interested in the design of organizational arrangements for collective intelligence, decentralized governance, and human–AI collaboration.
