Research interests
His research interests center on improving the understanding, design, and performance of electrochemical power and energy conversion devices including batteries, fuel cells, energy storage systems, and sensors. Also, energy storage materials and systems: flow batteries, sodium-ion batteries, and solid oxide batteries, thermal and mass transport in porous media and electrochemical energy conversion devices, In-situ stress study of solid state battery and solid oxide fuel cell, Battery and fuel cell health monitoring and electrochemical sensors, and 3D printing with ceramic materials and textile printing with plasma technology are other research interest areas.

Key activities
His current two projects for automotive engineering research is to develop sensors and algorithms for hybrid and electric vehicles. One project is to develop a Reliable Long-term Predictive Algorithm for Energy Storage Systems and Electric Vehicles Based on Real-time Data and Query Patterns and anther one is to develop a Lithium-ion Battery Health Monitoring Algorithm. He served on numerous international conference program committees. Professor Park is the author of over forty papers and three patents on fuel cells, batteries, energy systems, and sensors.
