Biography
Junho Park is an assistant professor in the Department of General Engineering at Santa Clara University (SCU). He also leads Human-AI System Optimization (HASO) Lab. In 2023, Junho received his Ph.D. in Industrial and Systems Engineering from Texas A&M University under the supervision of Dr. Maryam Zahabi. The title of his dissertation is: "Modeling and Analysis of Upper-Limb Prosthetic Devices." Previously, he worked as a researcher with expertise in computational modeling, simulation, and requirements analysis at Korea Institute for Defense Analyses, a national laboratory under the Department of Defense of South Korea. His primary research interests are in computational and predictive modeling for human-AI system optimization
