Professor Jae-Woo Park's research spans environmental science, statistical modeling, and social impact analysis, with a strong focus on sustainable materials and societal challenges. His lab investigates advanced nanomaterials for water purification, particularly graphene-based membranes that enhance energy efficiency in reverse osmosis. It also explores complex statistical models with intractable normalizing constants, contributing to Bayesian inference in network and spatial data analysis. Additionally, the lab examines systemic social issues in elite sports, especially in South Korea, addressing athlete welfare, educational disparities, and abuse in sports systems.

Models with intractable normalizing functions arise frequently in statistics. Common examples of such models include exponential random graph models for social networks and Markov point processes for ecology and disease modeling. Inference for these models is complicated because the normalizing functions of their probability distributions include the parameters of interest. In Bayesian analysis, they result in so-called doubly intractable posterior distributions which pose significant computatio
This article examines the structural problems that have accompanied South Korea’s increasing emphasis on success in elite international sport. After discussing how this was brought about by the political context of the 1960s and 1970s, we focus on three particular social issues: the educational problems experienced by student-athletes, the problems these cause in later life, and the physical and sexual abuse that is committed by coaches. The study draws on evidence from three selected investigat
A new generation of membranes for water purification based on weakly oxidized and nanoporous few-layer graphene is here introduced. These membranes dramatically decrease the high energy requirements of water purification by reverse osmosis. They combine the advantages of porous and non-oxidized single-layer graphene, offering energy-efficient water filtration at relatively low differential pressures, and highly oxidized graphene oxide, exhibiting high performance in terms of impurity adsorption.
