She first joined IIASA in April 2019 as part of the former Risk and Resilience Program.

At IIASA, she co-leads the Tools for Raising and Understanding Trust in Systems Science through Citizen Engagement (TRUST) Project, an IIASA strategic initiative exploring linkages between participation-driven science and attitudes towards science among the participating public as principal investigator. Her work at IIASA also includes research and stakeholder engagement on building resilience and managing climate-related risks, including through risk finance and insurance, for the Zurich Flood Resilience Alliance and the EU-funded Cross-sector Dialogue for Wildfire Risk Management (FIRELOGUE). She previously worked on a systems innovation approach for the Climate-KIC 'Forging Resilience' Deep Demonstration, and as a facilitator of the IIASA-International Science Council (ISC) Consultative Science Platform.

Prior to joining IIASA, she worked at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) as well as at the European Commission Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (DG ECHO).

She has a transdisciplinary background in public policy and comparative governance analysis, and has studied Political Science, East Asian Studies, and Development Studies at the University of Vienna, Austria; Sciences Po Paris, France; and at Seoul National University, Korea.
