About
Dr. Dae Won Park is a leading infectious disease researcher whose work centers on infection control, antimicrobial resistance, and the environmental decontamination of healthcare settings. He is best known for pioneering the use of ultraviolet light-emitting diode (UV LED) irradiation robots for terminal disinfection, a critical innovation highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic. His most-cited study, “Feasibility of ultraviolet light-emitting diode irradiation robot for terminal decontamination of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patient rooms” (2021, 20 citations), demonstrated the practical efficacy of UV LED robots in eliminating viral RNA from hospital surfaces, offering a safer, chemical-free alternative to traditional cleaning methods. This work has significant implications for reducing nosocomial transmission, particularly during outbreaks. Beyond this, Dr. Park has contributed extensively to the epidemiology of multidrug-resistant organisms and the optimization of antimicrobial stewardship programs. His research is widely cited by clinicians and hospital epidemiologists seeking evidence-based strategies to enhance patient safety. Through his innovative approach to real-world infection challenges, Dr. Park has established himself as a key voice in modern infection prevention and control.
