Muriel Lee

Research Intern

Muriel is an undergraduate student at Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland, majoring in International Relations and Area Studies, with a specialization in International Security. She is currently interning at the Committee for Human Rights in North Korea (HRNK) and the Global Peace Foundation, where she works on human rights and security issues on the Korean Peninsula. Muriel hopes to continue studying Security Studies in postgraduate level after her bachelor’s degree.

Before joining HRNK, she worked as a research intern at the Danube Institute and at the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Hungary. During this period, Muriel contributed to the Warsaw Institute’s Korea Monitor Program. After collaborating with the National Institute for Unification Education under the Ministry of Unification on an event, she recognized the importance of Unification on the Korean Peninsula within a liberal democracy and a market economy.
Her research focuses on the integrated security challenges facing South Korea and its allies, examining how alliance politics, North Korea policy, defense industrial cooperation, digital threats, and demographic decline jointly shape regional security and state resilience.
