Only 11 researchers in the world selected for three fields... Only person in Korea
Professor Park’s former student, Chonbuk National University Professor Lee Tae-hee also selected in top 1%, passing down research capacities
[November 20, 2019]
In addition to the mathematics sector for which he was selected every year since 2015, he was also selected as the top 1% in the world for computer science and engineering as well. There are only 11 people in the world selected in the top 1% of the world in three or more fields. He is the only one to have achieved this feat in Korea. This shows that even among global researchers, he is recognized for his unparalleled research capacities.
The global information analysis service company, Clarivate Analytics (hereinafter called Clarivate) announced the list of the ‘2019 most influential researchers in the world, otherwise known as ’the top 1% researchers in thesis citations (highly cited researchers, HCR).
There were 6,216 researchers from over 60 countries around the world listed in this year’s HCR. There were a total of 41 researchers selected for HCR in Korea, and 39 of them were Korean citizens. A total of four researchers including Professor Park were selected in two or more fields.

HCR are selected from a total of 22 fields including 21 fields in the science and social science fields and one cross field (cross field, researcher with high influence in various research fields). One point worth noting is that 18 researchers from Korea were listed in this year’s cross field, and Professor Lee Tae-hee of the Chonbuk National University Department of Electronic Engineering, who was a student of Professor Park Joo-hyun, was also listed. Professor Lee earned his bachelor’s, master’s and PhD at YU, while completing his post-doctorate studies at Deakin University in Australia, and finally being appointed as a professor of Chonbuk National University in September 2017. He trained at Professor Park’s lab, which became the cornerstone for him to grow into a world-renowned researcher.
Clarivate analyzes the ‘Web of Science’, which is known to be the world’s largest academic information database, to select the most highly cited papers (1%) in each field. This means that the quality of the paper is outstanding. There are a total of 23 Nobel Prize winners including this year’s Nobel Prize winner Gregg L. Semenza of Johns Hopkins University (Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine), John B. Goodenough of the University of Texas (Nobel Prize in Chemistry), and Esther Duflo of MIT (Nobel Prize in Economics) in the HCR list.
