The president of Ajou University, Park Hyung-ju, was featured in an episode of YTN Science’s Bravo, K-Scientists! The show focuses on the lives and research achievements of leading scientists in the Korean academic and research community.
 
The episode devoted to Park, entitled “Using Math to Solve Everyday Problems,” was aired at 9 p.m. KST on May 18.
 
Park’s achievements as a mathematician were highlighted in the episode, including his campaign to popularize mathematics and help organize the International Congress of Mathematicians in Seoul in 2014. It also featured Prof. Park’s efforts, since his inauguration as University president in 2018, to reform and innovate higher learning as an educator.
 
Park can be seen emphasizing on the show: “Math education, of course, helps with training scientists and engineers, but it is also an essential component of universal civic education that strives to foster independent thinking. An education in math allows us to learn methods of logical thinking.”
 
The episode also introduced the activities and plans of the Center for Teaching and Learning and the Career Development Center at Ajou University.
 
Park remarked: “It is my job as a decision-maker at the university to find answers in data and prioritize decision-making accordingly. We need to utilize data in order to identify what society and businesses require of us and reflect their demands in our university curriculum.”
