Woon Ju Park headshot
Assistant Professor

Woon Ju Park is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at Georgia Tech. She received her PhD in Brain and Cognitive Science from University of Rochester and completed her postdoctoral training from University of Washington. At Georgia Tech, she leads the Cortical Resilience Lab where she studies visual and auditory processing, brain plasticity, and perception in typical and atypical populations. Her work combines behavioral experiments, computational modeling, and multimodal neuroimaging (structural, functional, diffusion, and quantitative MRI) to understand how the human brain adapts to changes in sensory input, particularly in individuals with different sensory experiences (e.g., children with ASD, older adults, and those with early or late-onset visual impairments). Her research has been supported by prestigious awards such as the NIH K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award. Dr. Park is committed to interdisciplinary approaches and integrating insights from neuroscience, psychology, and engineering to advance both basic science and assistive technologies.
