Associate Professor of Computer Engineering

Dr. Park’s research interests lie in the area of environmental perception for autonomous driving, driver awareness detection, deep neural networks, and artificial intelligence application development. She had worked as a research scientist at the University of Michigan-Dearborn and had accomplished a variety of research projects successfully. In 2014, she moved into the automotive industry and worked as a senior research engineer at Hyundai Mobis and the Changan US R&D center. Her main contributions are 1) development of a North America traffic sign recognition system, 2) generation of high definition maps for autonomous driving using Camera and GPS sensors, and 3) evaluation of different GNSS systems.  

After she joined Kettering University, she established her research lab, ADAI (Autonomous Driving and Artificial Intelligence) lab in 2017. She is actively conducting research with students on the research topics, sensor-fused environmental perception for autonomous driving, deep neural networks for object detection, and artificial intelligence application development.

Research Profile

As a researcher and educator in Autonomous Driving (AD) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), my favorite thing is having the opportunity to pursue advanced research with the state-of-the-art labs and resources at Kettering University. I also value the strong spirit of collaboration at Kettering. Working alongside colleagues across the KU community creates many opportunities to share ideas, spark innovation, and advance our work together.
