Dr. Chanjoo Park | Medicinal Plants | Best Researcher Award

National Institute of Forest Science | South Korea

Dr. Chanjoo Park is a postdoctoral research associate in the Forest Industrial Materials Division of the National Institute of Forest Science (South Korea) since February 2024, where he leads the development of forest-resource-derived essential oils, their quality & safety evaluation, antimicrobial screening and an industrial-scale distillation facility. Previously, from October 2021 to December 2023 he served as Research Professor in the College of Forest & Environmental Sciences at Kangwon National University, coordinating international forestry training programmes and teaching scientific writing. He earned his PhD (Agriculture) from the University of Tasmania (Australia) in December 2021, studying commercial production of Kunzea ambigua essential oil; his M.Sc. (Food & Nutrition) was awarded at Pusan National University (Korea) in 2015, and his B.Sc. was completed at Sungshin Women’s University, Seoul. Dr. Park’s research emphasizes sustainable extraction and valorisation of aromatic forestry biomass, optimisation of essential-oil yield and bioactive constituent profiling, antimicrobial and functional-food applications, and standardisation according to international fragrance and oil-quality standards. He has published on topics of essential oils from forest waste and native forestry species in South Korea including Kunzea ambigua, Pinaceae and Cupressaceae oils. His work contributes to industrial bio-valorisation of forest by-products and sustainable green chemistry of aromatic compounds.
