Moon Jeong Park (박문정) is a Korean chemical engineer who is a Professor of Chemistry at Pohang University of Science and Technology. She is interested in polymers for energy storage and transport. She studies the transport in charge-containing polymeric materials.[1] She is the second non-American recipient to be awarded the American Physical Society John D. Dillion Medal and the 2016 Hanwha Total IUPAC Young Scientist Award.[2][3][4]

Early Career and education

[edit]

Park was born in 1977 in South Korea.[3] Park completed her Ph.D. the Seoul National University in 2006. She was advised by Kookheon Char.[2] In 2009, she was a postdoctoral research fellow with Nitash P. Balsara at University of California, Berkeley.[2][5]

Research and career

[edit]

Park joined as assistant professor to the department of chemistry at Pohang University of Science and Technology in 2009.[2] She was promoted to associate professor in 2013. Her research interests includes understanding the thermodynamics and transport in charge-containing polymeric materials.[6] Park specifically focuses on developing polymeric materials that are more efficient, predictable, and sustainable for energy storage and transport.[2][7] She has developed a lithium sulfur battery technology to increased charging speeds and have longer battery life.[8] Her main contributions have been in ionic-liquid containing polymers, design of self-assembled polymer electrolytes, organic-organics nano-hybrids for enhanced ion/charge transport, and chemical sensors based on ionic polymers.[9] She also works on electric responsive actuators to create artificial muscles.[10]

Park is an associate editor of Macromolecules.[11] She also on the editorial board of Journal of Polymer Science: Polymer Physics and Journal of Applied Polymer Science.[12][13]
