Jinyoung Park ( Korean: 박진영; born 1982) is a South Korean mathematician at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University working in combinatorics and graph theory. In 2022, she released a preprint, joint with Huy Tuan Pham, containing a proof of the Kahn–Kalai conjecture. [1] [2] [3] [4] Their paper was published in the Journal of the American Mathematical Society in 2024. [5]
Park entered Seoul National University in 2001 and received her B.S. in Mathematics Education in 2004. [6] She worked as a mathematics teacher in secondary schools in Seoul from 2005 to 2011. [6] She began her graduate studies at Rutgers University in 2014, where she received her Ph.D. in 2020 under the supervision of Jeff Kahn. [6] Her doctoral work earned the 2022 Dissertation Prize from the Association for Women in Mathematics. [7]
She was a Member of the Institute for Advanced Study from 2020 to 2021. [2] [8] From 2021 to 2022 she was a Szegö Assistant Professor at Stanford University, where her postdoctoral mentor was Jacob Fox. [6] [9] She joined the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University in 2023, where she is currently an assistant professor. [6] [10]
In 2023, Park received the Maryam Mirzakhani New Frontiers Prize for contributions to the resolution of several major conjectures on thresholds and selector processes. [11] In 2024, she received the Dénes König Prize together with her coauthor Huy Tuan Pham. [12]
