Eura Choi is the Administrative and Research Assistant at the War Studies Department’s inaugural Centre for Nuclear Strategy and Security (CNSS). She works with Professor Målfrid Braut-Hegghammer on establishing the Centre’s Research Seminar, Working Papers Seminar, and Digital Nuclear Archive.

Eura is also currently a DPhil candidate in International Relations at the University of Oxford. Her dissertation examines the evolving institutional architecture of the Asia-Pacific, drawing on an original dataset and typology of economic and security-oriented multilateral organizations. Identifying a shift in regional institution-building practices since around 2010, her work advances a theory of middle-power institutional entrepreneurship in the context of a changing regional order. Her research project is supported by the Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation.

Prior to starting her DPhil, Eura received her A.B.-A.M. from Harvard University, where she co-founded the Harvard College International Negotiation Program. She has also conducted research at the Korean Institute for Development Strategy, the New York State Legislature, and the John L. Thornton China Center at the Brookings Institution.
