1. Introduction
Dr. Park is a professor in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He earned his B.S. in Civil Engineering from Yonsei University in 1977 and an M.S. in Environmental Engineering from Seoul National University in 1979. After completing two years of military service, he worked as a consulting engineer in Korea and Australia. In 1985, he obtained his Ph.D. in Public Health Engineering from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, and later served as a research engineer at the Sanitary and Environmental Health Research Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley, from 1985 to 1988.
Since joining the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1988, Dr. Park has taught various environmental engineering courses and published extensively, including one book and over 100 journal articles. His research interests span a wide range, encompassing artificial intelligence applications in wastewater treatment plant operations, prediction of environmental issues like pipe breakage, sustainable recycling of tire-derived aggregate, upcycling of waste, water quality management, river restoration, biological treatment of toxic organic compounds, biological nutrient removal, hazardous waste treatment, mass transport in the environment, fate of organic compounds in water and wastewater treatment processes, computer-aided design of water and wastewater treatment plants, and reuse of scrap vehicle tires as a contaminant sorbent. Additionally, Dr. Park has served as a consultant to governments, institutions, utilities, and companies globally. Dr. Park has published many publications [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19].
