Biography

Dr. Kimin Eom a senior lecturer in management at the Australian National University. He received his Ph.D. in social psychology from the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) in 2018. Prior to joining ANU, he worked as an assistant professor at Singapore Management University. His primary research examines prosociality, broadly defined—why individuals and groups behave in ways that benefit others, society, and the globe. He examines this topic within the context of social and global challenges that threaten society’s sustainability, such as climate change and pandemics. He also studies the psychology of happiness and well-being. 

Dr. Eom's research has been published in leading academic journals, such as Psychological Science, Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, and Journal of Environmental Psychology. In 2023, Dr. Eom was recognized as a Rising Star by the Association for Psychological Science and received the Lee Kong Chian Fellowship at Singapore Management University.
