Ajou alumnus Jeong Hwan Kim (entrance class of 2005, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering) is appointed as a professor by Tokyo Institute of Technology in Japan 2016-03-03 Jeong Hwan Kim (pictured above), a graduate of Ajou University, was appointed as an assistant professor by Tokyo Institute of Technology in Japan After completing his undergraduate course at Ajou (entrance class of 2005, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering), Kim was selected as a scholarship student by the Japanese government and obtained his doctoral degree from Tokyo Institute of Technology under joint guidance by Professor Hideo Hosono and Professor Toshio Kamiya, both of whom are world-renowned experts in oxide semiconductors. Kim's doctoral dissertation is entitled "Materials design and development of novel amorphous oxide semiconductors for light-emitting diodes." In the dissertation, Kim designed oxide semiconductors for next-generation applications and analyzed their properties, achieving far better performance than existing semiconductors by applying them to elements (TFT and OLED). In his advice to his juniors at Ajou, Kim said, "The University can offer everything you need, and it is your enthusiasm and effort that decide how much you can get out of it," adding, "I hope that you do not hesitate but move forward, and many alumni are supporting and looking forward to your challenges."

Ajou's Digital Humanities Project Group under the College of Humanities successfully holds the '2016 Korea-China University Students Exchange Camp' 2016-02-23 From January 4th to the 8th, Ajou University's Digital Humanities Project Group (Director Kyung Hoon Jung) under the College of Humanities held the '2016 Korea-China University Students Exchange Camp' together with Peking University in China. From Ajou University, a total of 22 people participated in the Camp, including 17 students from the College of Humanities and 5 professors of the Digital Humanities Track, and they took part in an academic seminar with students from Peking University and visited Korean companies in China and local cultural assets, etc. The academic seminar for undergraduate students, which was co-hosted by Ajou's Digital Humanities Project Group and the China Development Institute of Peking University, was attended by six teams from Ajou University and five teams from Peking University to present on their respective research about cultural phenomena and industry, and humanities. An interesting contrast between their presentations was that Peking's students used surveys and statistical analysis as the key methodology, while Ajou's students adopted data-mining analysis by collecting Big Data from the Internet and literary texts. Presentations and discussions during the seminar were all conducted in English. It was a follow-up event under the MOU on mutual cooperation in education and research, which was signed in January 2015 between the Digital Humanities Project Group and the China Development Institute. Based on the camp’s success, the two organizations agreed to conduct regular academic exchanges between students from the two universities.

World-OKTA and Ajou agree to run the Global Startup Academy 2016-02-19 On February 16th, Ajou University President Dong Yeon Kim, Executive Vice President for Industry-Academia Cooperation Kyung Hee Choi, and other officials attended the opening ceremony for the World-OKTA Global Business Center and discussed bilateral exchanges and cooperation with World-OKTA (World Federation of Overseas Korean Traders Associations). World-OKTA established the Center as a launch pad that helps small- and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) enter and build presence in overseas markets and assists young people to start businesses and find jobs abroad. The Center is located in KINTEX in Goyang City, Gyeonggi-do. World-OKTA was established in 1981 as an association of economic and trade activities for Korean businesspeople based in different countries around the globe. World-OKTA Chairman Ki Chool Park said, "The World-OKTA Global Business Center will serve as a mecca where young Koreans at home and abroad can join hands to start businesses in the global market and will become a reliable platform for small and medium exporters to advance into overseas markets," adding, "We will use half of the nearly 500 square meters of the Center as a business startup support center for young people and work together with Ajou on the program design and operation." Ajou has steadily pursued various exchanges and cooperation with World-OKTA. In particular, the two sides agreed to run the 'World-OKTA & Ajou University Global Startup Academy' within the Center. The Academy will assist young Koreans at home and abroad in starting businesses and support companies run by overseas Koreans, etc. Regarding the Academy, the University plans to support World-OKTA by actively utilizing its know-how from operating internship and corporate support programs. In his congratulatory message, President Kim said, "I expect that the Global Business Center will play a significant role amid the challenging economic environment," adding, "Ajou will be actively involved in operating the 'World-OKTA & Ajou University Global Startup Academy' as a partner." The two sides agreed to continue the 'OKTA Internship Program,' which began last year, and prepare the '2016 Korea Tour and Local Training for the World-OKTA Next Generation Trade School' as they continue to discuss the program details. The Next Generation Trade School is a program that World-OKTA has been running for overseas Koreans to foster the next generation of economic leaders.

Ajou's team led by Professor Ju Min Kim develops an analysis device that prevents molecular damage 2016-02-18 An Ajou University team led by Professor Ju Min Kim (Department of Chemical Engineering, Graduate School's Department of Energy System Research) developed technology that can considerably improve the performance of animal cell culturing devices, which produce proteins, antibodies, or hormones, etc. Professor Kim said he teamed up with Professor Wook Ryol Hwang (School of Mechanical Engineering, Gyeongsang National University) to develop a fluidic device that can precisely adjust the size of gaseous bubbles formed within animal cell culturing devices. Yeong Bok Bae of Ajou's Graduate School participated in the research as the first author, and Professor Gwang Lee from Ajou's School of Medicine joined as a collaborator. Their findings were published as the cover paper in the first 2016 issue of The Lab on a Chip, a world-class academic journal published by the U.K.'s Royal Society of Chemistry. In order to raise the productivity of animal cell culturing devices, it is critical to create conditions that prevent molecular damage. It has been known that molecular damage is mainly caused by the stress generated from bursting oxygen bubbles that must be supplied in culturing cells. Professor Kim's team developed a molecular damage measuring device and an air bubble control device that work within molecular culturing equipment, along with a microfluidic mixer that can adjust the liquid flow. He then applied the devices to cell culturing equipment. Professor Kim said, "Cell culturing requires a steady supply of plenty of oxygen bubbles to the animal culturing equipment," adding, "However, intense stress occurs due to the bursting of oxygen bubbles when their diameters reach 5mm or less." Professor Kim went on to say, "In the research, we succeeded in identifying the maximum size of gaseous bubbles that do not cause molecular damage by measuring the critical stress of molecular damage. The finding will contribute to reducing molecular damage." If the efficiency of this technology improves further, it is expected to greatly contribute to enhancing the productivity of various medical products including artificial hearts. The research was conducted with the support of the General Researcher Support Project and the Research Findings Commercialization Support Project by the Ministry of Science, ICT, and Future Planning. <그림>기포: Gaseous bubbles기계적 세포 손상: Mechanical molecular damage배출구: Outlet 유입구: Inlet 슬라이드 글래스: Slide glass
