He also studies the psychology of happiness and well-being.  

Dr. Eom's research has been published in leading academic journals, such as Psychological Science, Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, and Journal of Environmental Psychology. In 2023, Dr. Eom was recognized as a Rising Star by the Association for Psychological Science and received the Lee Kong Chian Fellowship at Singapore Management University.
