Dr Yong Sung Park

Yong Sung Park studied in the department of Civil Engineering at Seoul National University in Korea. He graduated in 1999 and stayed on to get a Masters degree in hydraulics in 2001. After fulfilling national military service, he went to Cornell University in 2004 initially supported by the Korea Science and Engineering Foundation and obtained his PhD in Fluid Mechanics in 2009. He continued at Cornell as a Research Associate/Instructor for two years. He came to Dundee in 2011 through the Newton International Fellowship scheme. The two-year fellowship will support his research on the dynamic response of stratified, non-Newtonian, cohesive sediments to ocean surface waves.
