Dr. Park earned Ph.D. and MS degrees in Accelerator Physics from Indiana University at Bloomington and the BS degree in physics from Korea University. Before joining the Department of Accelerator Science at Korea University, he had worked at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in the United States.
Dr. Park has extensive backgrounds in theoretical, computational, and experimental aspects of various accelerator physics topics, including accelerator designing and commissioning, beam dynamics in particle accelerators (from RF photoinjectors and linacs to cyclotrons and synchrotrons), computational code developments for accelerator modeling, etc.
Dr. Park has hands-on experience in designing a medical cyclotron from scratch, and successfully developing and commissioning it to the commercial stage. During the course of his Ph.D. and Post-doctoral training at Indiana University, he developed electromagnetic space charge effect algorithms for RF photoinjectors and performed simulation studies of high power microwave sources. During the Post-Doctoral training at Fermilab, Dr. Park had many great opportunities to broaden his knowledge in accelerator physics. Specifically, he has participated in the development of an accelerator simulation package, Synergia. He has experience with many accelerator modeling codes, such as Synergia, WARP, MAD-8, MAD-X, PARMELA, as well as many computational programming languages, such as C/C++, Fortran, Python, etc.
