Soojin Park is an Assistant Professor of the Department of Psychology at Yonsei University. Before she joined Yonsei, she was an Assistant Professor of the Department of Cognitive Science at Johns Hopkins University. She got her Ph.D. in psychology from Yale University, and did her postdoctoral work at MIT. Her research interests lie in cognitive neuroscience and cognitive psychology, with special interest in scene perception and memory. In particular, she is interested in understanding how the human mind constructs a visual world and how these scene representations guide our action and navigation. She uses behavioral and functional neuroimaging (fMRI) methods to get insight into representational spaces in the mind and the brain.
