Professor Hoon Cheol Park received his BS (1985) and MS(1987) degrees from Seoul National University in Seoul, Korea and Ph.D. degree from the University of Maryland at College Park, MD, USA(1994). He joined the Department of Aerospace Engineering, Konkuk University in Seoul, Korea in 1995. Dr. Hoon Cheol Park is currently a professor at Department of Smart Vehicle Engineering, Konkuk University, Seoul, Korea. His professional experience includes research engineering at Kia Motors (1986-1988) and senior researcher at Korea Aerospace Research Institute (1994-1995). His specialty is the finite element analysis, and his recent research focus is mainly biomimetics and bio-inspired flight. His research team published more than 100 SCI/SCIE journal papers on design and demonstration of bird/insect-mimicking flying robots, locust-mimicking jumping plus flight robot, and fish-mimicking swimming. He also published about 20 papers on artificial muscle actuators such as piezoelectric bending actuators, single-crystal stack actuators, and ionic polymer-metal composites(IPMC). He has been the editorial board member of Journal of Bionic Engineering since 2007 and the associate editor of International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems since 2013. He joined the editorial board of Bioinspiration and Biomimetics since 2019. He also served Korea Society of Mechanical Engineers, Division of Bioengineering as president in 2015 and as vice president for several years. As an international activity, he led International Society of Intelligent Unmanned Systems (ISIUS) as president (2017-2019). His research team was recognized as one of the most active teams in biomimetic flying robot research through review papers published in International Journal of Micro Air Vehicles in 2015 and 2017.
