Research Fellow, RoRI

Seunghyun is a Research Fellow in Metascience who joined RoRI in 2025. Her work with RoRI focuses on the AGORRA (A Global Observatory of Responsible Research Assessment) project, contributing to efforts to reform research assessment and strengthen the role of research in society.

Seunghyun is a policy researcher and analyst with expertise in science, technology, and innovation (STI) policy, research assessment, and institutional strategy. Her doctoral research at the University of Manchester explored the positioning of public research institutes within national innovation systems, suggesting a new framework for evaluating research actors through bibliometric and network analysis. This work contributes to emerging debates in metascience around interdisciplinarity, collaboration, and innovation.

Before joining RoRI, Seunghyun worked with leading national and international organisations, including the OECD and Korea Institute of Science and Technology Evaluation and Planning (KISTEP), on STI strategy, capability indicators, and evaluation of public research institutes.
