Minsu is a Ph.D. student studying Energy, Resource, and Urban Economics and Policy. His previous research involves resource economics of fishery and aquaculture. Those works sought optimal fishery management by connecting separate economic instruments on the Chesapeake Bay and the impact of new technology on the farmers' production in African nations. More recently, he has two lines of working papers: the optimal economic instruments in electric vehicle adoption and the role of the transnational municipal network in the energy consumption reduction of local governments.
