Keynote 2: Professor Jinah Park (KAIST, South Korea)

Bio
Dr. Jinah Park is a Professor in the School of Computing, and ICT Endowed Chair Professor of the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). She received a BSE in Electrical Engineering from Columbia University in New York, and an MSE and a Ph.D. in Computer and Information Science from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. She is currently leading Computer Graphics and Visualization research lab at KAIST. Her major academic contributions are to the field of medical imaging, where she developed a computational technique for analyzing 3D cardiac motion from MR tagging data. Her recent work on the deformable models for morphometric study applied to aging brain structures was selected as KAIST’s Top 10 Research Achievements. Her research team is also interested in understanding 3D interaction behaviors in a VR environment while developing various haptic rendering algorithms applied to virtual simulation. She is serving as Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Haptics, and she is also General Co-Chair of MICCAI 2025 to be held in Korea.
