Short description: Mathematician at Stanford University

Jinyoung Park (Korean: 박진영; born 1982) is a South Korean mathematician at Stanford University working in combinatorics and graph theory. In 2022, she released a preprint containing a 6-page proposed proof of the Kahn–Kalai conjecture with Huy Tuan Pham.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]

Education and career

Park entered Seoul National University in 2001 and received her B.S. in Mathematics Education in 2004.^[5] She worked as a mathematics teacher in secondary schools in Seoul from 2005 to 2011.^[5] She began her graduate studies at Rutgers University in 2014, where she received her Ph.D. in 2020 under the supervision of Jeff Kahn.^[5] Her doctoral work earned the 2022 Dissertation Prize from the Association for Women in Mathematics.^[6]

She was a Member of the Institute for Advanced Study from 2020 to 2021.^[1]^[7] Since 2021, she has continued her postdoctoral work as a Szegö Assistant Professor at Stanford University, where her postdoctoral mentor is Jacob Fox.^[5]^[8] In 2023, Park received the Maryam Mirzakhani New Frontiers Prize for contributions to the resolution of several major conjectures on thresholds and selector processes.^[9]
