Inkyu Kang is an Assistant Professor of Public Administration and Policy at the University of Georgia. 

His research examines how politics and public agencies influence one another, and how these interactions shape the implementation of public programs, producing both intended and unintended outcomes. Substantive interests include democracy–bureaucracy reconciliation, managerial decision-making, citizen–state interactions, social equity, and policing.

His methodological approaches are varied, including vignette and conjoint experiments, natural and quasi-experiments employing advanced econometric models, observational studies with surveys and administrative data, and mixed-methods approaches. 

Inkyu’s solo- and lead-authored publications have been featured in Journal of Policy Analysis and Management (JPAM), Policy Studies Journal (PSJ), Governance, Journal of Public Policy (JPP), Public Administration Review (PAR), Public Administration (PA), and American Review of Public Administration (ARPA).
