Woon Ju Park
Research Scientist, University of Washington
I am a researcher interested in how the computations in the human visual system are influenced by experience. I characterize the building blocks of perception using a combination of visual/auditory psychophysics, eye-tracking, neuroimaging, and computational modeling. I work with both neurotypical and neurodiverse populations (e.g., autism spectrum disorder, blindness), with an aim to find ways that can positively shape individuals' perceptual experiences.

Currently, I am a Research Associate at the MRC Epidemiology Unit at the University of Cambridge. I am interested in exploring the complex dynamics of the commercial food system and health. My work primarily examines the effects of ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption on youth’s health.
I am passionate about systems thinking approaches, science communication, and patient and public involvement to create healthier food environments.
My current research on UPF has brought to light the significant social injustices underlying our existing food system. Additionally, it has shed light on the public health disparities linked to UPFs, emphasizing the imperative for policy measures aimed at reducing health inequalities rooted in social injustice.
My aim is to contribute to our understanding of the drivers of UPF consumption in youth to better inform intervention, public health messaging and equitable policy development about the potential health and environmental harms of UPF consumption.
