Park, Yaewon (박예원)
Yaewon Park is an assistant professor at the Department of Clothing and Textiles, Yonsei University. She graduated from Seoul National University with a bachelor`s and master`s degrees in textile science. With the provost doctoral recruitment fellowship, Yaewon earned Ph.D. in Fiber and Polymer Science from North Carolina State University. Her doctoral research focused on the biomimetic surface coating of nanofibers for water purification. From 2019-2021, she worked as a postdoctoral research associate at the Advanced Science Research Center of City University of New York. Her postdoctoral research was on water-responsive silk materials for sustainable energy applications. Now she aspires to lead her own research on functional textiles powered by water and microorganisms and prepare students for the textiles field.
