Overview
Over the past years Prof. Park has been involved with theoretical and experimental efforts for information and systems security and has published about 60 peer-refereed research papers in the area. Since he joined the School of Information Studies (iSchool) at Syracuse University in 2002, he has been awarded a total of $2,545,972 grants: $1,796,620 in research and $749,352 in education. He has also developed several security courses and lab modules for the iSchool based on his expertise. He was the lead faculty member in developing the Certificate of Advanced Study (CAS) in Information Security Management (ISM) for the iSchool. Currently, he is the director of the program. He established the Laboratory for Applied Information Security Technology (LAIST) at the school to perform practical research in information and systems security. He was nominated for the Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship (2004) as a young scientist in computer science (26 past Sloan Fellows have become Nobel Laureates). He has been serving as a key contributor to the high-technology economy of New York State, collaborating with the New York State Center for Advanced Technology in Computer Applications and Software Engineering (CASE). He served as an invited review panelist for the National Science Foundation (NSF)'s Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) on Computer Science in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008, and 2009.
While completing his doctoral study in information security at George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia, in 1999, his dissertation work was generously sponsored by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Security Agency (NSA), and the US Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). Before he joined the iSchool, he conducted research at NRL’s Center for High Assurance Computer Systems (CHACS) as a principal research scientist.

Teaching Interests
Since Prof. Park joined the iSchool, he has developed new courses and lab modules based on my expertise and experience in information and systems security for both on-campus and online sections. These courses are balanced with lectures, student-led discussions, research activities, and hands-on experiences via lab sessions. He has taught and advised students in various academic programs, including the iSchool, the L.C. Smith College of Engineering and Computer Science, Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, the Whitman School of Management, the Newhouse School of Public Communications, and College of Law for their research and career development in information security.
