Taek Kim is an education policy researcher and Associate Research Fellow with a decade of experience applying advanced quantitative methods—quasi-experimental designs and multilevel modeling—to study tracking, peer effects, course-taking, and school choice. He earned a Ph.D. in Education Policy Evaluation from Florida State University and has held research and postdoctoral roles at FSU and New York University before joining the Korean Education Development Institute. Taek combines rigorous methodological skills with practical policy insight, having contributed to multiple empirical projects bridging U.S. and Korean education contexts. He often focuses on how classroom- and school-level dynamics shape student pathways, and his background as an admissions officer gives him a grounded perspective on how policy translates to practice.
