Won-ho Park is Assistant Professor of Political Science and Asian Studies at the University of Florida. His teaching interests include research methods, comparative politics, and voting behavior. His research interests include quantitative methods involving ecological inference techniques on aggregate electoral data; electoral dynamics in new democracies with a special focus upon South Korea and East Asia; and how voting technology affects voting behavior. He studied at Seoul National University (BA and MA) and the University of Michigan (Ph.D.). Currently, he is working on several projects that include the extension of ecological inference techniques and the electoral realignment of South Korean voters. He was a Fulbright Scholar and a Rotary International Ambassadorial Scholar from South Korea, and was an American National Election Studies Fellow (2003-2004). His paper "Estimation of Voter Transition Rates and Ecological Inference" won the 2003 Harold Gosnell Prize as the best political methodology paper of the year.
