Eric (Keun Woo) Jeong

Welcome! My name is Eric and I am a Ph.D. Candidate at the London Business School.

My research explores how geopolitical disruptions influence creativity and innovation. From the innovation race in the United States following World War II to Renaissance Italy following the Dark Ages, throughout history, many breakthrough ideas that revolutionized our thinking and society were born in times of disruption.

My research focuses on the historical occurrences of such disruptions, revealing distinct channels through which disruptions stimulate creativity and innovation in the contexts of painting, classical music, and literary arts.

Starting in 2025, I will be joining Perry World House at the University of Pennsylvania as a Postdoctoral Fellow.
