Georgia Institute of Technology Ocean Science and Engineering - OSE

Kyungmin Park holds a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering from Tongmyong University, and Pusan National University, respectively. He has performed various researches using numerical simulation. The topics include but are not limited to the ship hydrodynamics, flow control, porous media flow, and liquid-gas-particle flow. "As these research activities introduced to me how scientific knowledge can be tangibly utilized in real life and development in industrial field, I have opened my eyes to see the value of continued striving for new discoveries," he says. His aspiration is to not only enhance understanding of the oceans, the climate, and the ecosystem, but also apply this knowledge to life using mathematical models and computer simulations. He intends to pursue PhD in OSE with the aim of becoming a professor who leads a research laboratory in academia for creating effective technology or knowledge with a positive societal impact.
