Education and career

Park entered Seoul National University in 2001 and received her B.S. in Mathematics Education in 2004.[5] She worked as a mathematics teacher in secondary schools in Seoul from 2005 to 2011.[5] She began her graduate studies at Rutgers University in 2014, where she received her Ph.D. in 2020 under the supervision of Jeff Kahn.[5] Her doctoral work earned the 2022 Dissertation Prize from the Association for Women in Mathematics.[6]

She was a Member of the Institute for Advanced Study from 2020 to 2021.[1][7] Since 2021, she has continued her postdoctoral work as a Szegö Assistant Professor at Stanford University, where her postdoctoral mentor is Jacob Fox.[5][8] In 2023, Park received the Maryam Mirzakhani New Frontiers Prize for contributions to the resolution of several major conjectures on thresholds and selector processes.[9]
