Mingyu Park, Ph.D

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil, Urban, Earth, and Environmental Engineering at UNIST, where I lead a research group studying climate dynamics and modeling. 

I am passionate about understanding the role of atmospheric dynamical processes in driving regional and global climate variability, and in regulating climate extremes. Focusing on mid-latitude atmospheric dynamics, I use high-resolution climate model simulations, object tracking algorithms, and observational datasets to address a wide range of research questions. 

While I aspire to become a leading expert in large-scale atmospheric dynamics, the ultimate goal of my long-term research is to build an inter-disciplinary research group that investigates climate science questions across various temporal and spatial scales, as well as different components of the Earth system.
