She completed a doctorate in statistics at Texas A&M University in 1997.[2] Her dissertation, Multivariate Receptor Modeling from a Statistical Science Viewpoint, was supervised by Clifford Spiegelman.[3] She became a member of the Texas A&M Transportation Institute in 2001.[2]

Book

With Clifford Spiegelman and Laurence R. Rilett, Park is a co-author of the book Transportation Statistics and Microsimulation (CRC Press, 2016).[4]

Recognition

Park won the Patricia F. Waller Award of the Transportation Research Board in 2009, for her work with Kay Fitzpatrick on pedestrian safety,[5] and the D. Grant Mickle Award of the TRB in 2011 for her work with Fitzpatrick, Susan Chrysler, and Vichika Iragavarapu on the visibility of crosswalk indicators.[6]
