Shin Kue Ryu, PhD

My expertise lies in development issues in the constantly changing interconnected world.  We live and our children will grow up in a world of both immense wealth that society has never witnessed before and abysmal poverty where those in it grieve in despair and helplessness.  We live in a truly paradoxical world.  Thus, researching why and designing more effective interventions to alleviate conditions that undermines an individual's strive to live up to their potential are my ultimate goals.

​

My research builds on diverse experiences.  My past experiences included having worked at the World Bank, being deployed by the military to Iraq for reconstruction and humanitarian missions, working as a Mergers & Acquisitions investment banker, and a co-author for three nuclear physics publications regarding a fidelity device that fits into the Gammasphere.  More recently, I serve as a team member for an Inter-American Development Bank loan project for a biotechnology center in South America, a UN delegate for an international non-profit, a grant recipient of Get Healthy Idaho Grant, a mayor appointed Commissioner for the Planning and Zoning Commission, and as a board member for sections in an academic association.
