[April 11, 2008]
A young professor just entering his 40s became the vice editor in chief for the first time as a Korean in an SCI level journal in the US and received tenureship.
Park Joo-hyeon (40, photo) of the Yeungnam University college of electrical engineering was appointed as the first ever vice chief editor of the international journal Applied Mathematics and Computation issued by Elsevier of the US.
<Applied Mathematics and Computation> is a SCI level journal that deals with applied sciences (mathematics, engineering, physics, biology, etc) that can be interpreted based on applied mathematics and is famous for its stringent quality management having almost no changes in its editors since launching in 1975. But, Professor Park was appointed as the chief editor. Elsevier selected Park not only because of his activities in the nonlinear dynamics field for the past 10 years, but also because he was very devoted as a reviewer for theses applying for the journals.
Professor Park, who majored in control engineering, has written 110 articles for SCI level journals as of March 2008 as well as other research achievements such as registering 20 papers with the Korea Research Foundation. In addition, he is also actively working as an editor for the Journal of the Frankline Institute, which is one of the oldest academic journals founded by Benjamin Franklin in 1826, as well as a reviewer for 50 other SCI level journals. In addition, he was registered on the Marquis Who's Who In The World consecutively in 2007 and 2008 as well as in the 2007/2008 issue of the Great Minds of the 21st Century of ABI.
