Sojun Park is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Politics at Princeton University. His research mainly focuses on global governance of intellectual property rights and public health. More broadly, he studies the politics of technological change and sustainable development.

His dissertation project examines how governments and businesses navigate uncertainty in the global economy by focusing on the cases of intellectual property infringement and pandemic responses. Specifically, his job market paper illustrates why some U.S. exporting firms engage more in lobbying for global patent protection than other exporters using game theory and quantitative analysis.

Sojun received a B.A. in International Studies and a B.A. in Economics (Statistics) from Korea University, where he was admitted with distinction and graduated early with honors. He is currently visiting the Mortara Center for International Studies at Georgetown University as a Global Political Economy Project (GPEP) fellow.
