Pioneering Leadership in Science and Technology Policy
Professor Sukyung Park, a member of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at KAIST, was appointed as the science and technology adviser to President Jae-in Moon on May 4, making her the youngest member of the president’s senior aide team at Chong Wa Dae at the age of 47. A spokesperson for Chong Wa Dae stated that Professor Park, known for her significant involvement in science and technology policymaking, will play a crucial role in advancing the government's efforts in science and technology innovation, particularly in the information and communications technology (ICT) sector. Joining KAIST in 2004 as its first female mechanical engineering professor, she is a biomechanics expert recognized for her extensive research on biometric mechanical behaviors. Additionally, she is a member of the KAIST Board of Trustees and has previously served as a senior researcher at the Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM) and on the Presidential Advisory Council on Science and Technology. Professor Park graduated from Seoul Science High School as its first-ever two-year graduate and earned both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in mechanical engineering at KAIST, before completing her Ph.D. at the University of Michigan.
