Within world’s top 1% in thesis citations in three fields: engineering, computer science, and mathematics

Being selected in three fields for four consecutive years … proof of global influence of his research performances

Report of more than 100 theses in internationally prestigious journals for last three years, over 37,000 citations

[November 17, 2022]

 Prof. PARK Ju-hyeon (54, above photo) of YU Department of Electric Engineering was selected again as 1% of world’s top researchers. He has been selected as one of the most influential researchers in the world for eight consecutive years since 2015.

 Clarivate Analytics (hereinafter referred to as Clarivate), a world information analysis service company, announced the list of the most influential researchers in 2022, i.e. top 1% researchers with many thesis citations (Highly Cited Researchers, hereinafter referred to as HCR) on the 15th. 

Especially, it is surprising that Prof. Park was selected as HCR of the world in three fields: engineering, computer science, and mathematics. He put his name in three fields of HCR for four consecutive years since 2019. It is very rare in the world that a researcher is selected as the world’s top 1% researchers in three or more fields. To that extent, the research performances of Prof. Park have shown his influence in wide fields and his unrivaled research power is accepted among world-level researchers, too.

 Prof. Park has become a world authority in nonlinear control system analysis field with use of traditional control theory and neuro/fuzzy intelligence theory. He has been showing excellent research performances in basic studies on controller design for stability analysis and stabilization of various linear and non-linear dynamic systems such as time delay systems, complex networks, neural networks, cyber physical systems, multi-object systems, and moving object control systems. He has been making active research activities such as report of more than 100 theses in internationally prestigious journals for past three years in the fields concerned. Especially, he has more than 37,000 citations of theses and as many as more than 100 theses cited more than 100 times.Prof. Park was selected as a regular member of Korea Academy of Science and Technology in 2017 and is working as an editing member of many international academic journals including IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics, a world academic journal.

 Prof. Chandragiri Venkata Reddy (below photo) of YU Faculty of Computer Science was also selected in HCR Cross Field (highly influential researchers to other fields’ researchers); as a result, two YU profiteers put their names in HCR this year.

HCR is selected in 22 fields consisting of 21 fields including science and social science, etc. and one field of Cross Field. Clarivate selects HCR based on top 1% of theses (highly cited papers) which were the most cited in corresponding year in each field based on its Web of Science. HCR was selected this year based on citation numbers of theses reported for 11 years from January 2011 to December 2021. This year, 6,938 researchers put their names in HCR this year. In case of Korea, 63 researchers had been selected as HCR.
