Minsu Park

Minsu Park serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Social Research and Public Policy at NYU Abu Dhabi, where he bridges computational methods with social science research on cultural behaviors.

His primary research explores cultural consumption and social networks, with specific investigations into diurnal/seasonal patterns in music streaming data and ethnicity estimation through surname-Census matching. Park employs representation learning models, network analysis, and statistical anomaly detection to analyze large-scale digital footprints from platforms like Last.fm and Twitter, testing theories like cultural omnivory in contemporary media consumption.

Technically proficient across the data science stack, he utilizes Python, R, SQL, and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP) alongside machine learning frameworks (TensorFlow, Keras) and visualization tools (D3, Gephi) for research implementation.
