Three Research Teams from Chosun University Selected for the 'AI-Centered Industrial Convergence Cluster Development Project'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Three research teams from the Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation of Chosun University have been selected for the “AI-Centered Industrial Convergence Complex Creation Project: Industrial Convergence AI R&D” led by the National IT Industry Promotion Agency.

According to Chosun University on the 16th, Professor Kim Yuntae’s team from the College of IT Convergence was selected for the project under the theme “Development of Brain-body Interface Technology Using AI-based Multi-sensing” and will receive approximately 5.8 billion KRW in national funding.

Professor Kim’s team is conducting consortium research with Chosun University as the lead institution, along with Samsung Seoul Hospital, Sungkyunkwan University, Gaon IT Co., Ltd., and Cybertech Co., Ltd.

With this project selection, Professor Kim’s team will acquire biometric signals and brain function information to build a database and develop technology to understand the interconnectivity between brain functions using AI algorithms. Through this, they plan to commercialize an early diagnosis platform for depression and mental disorders.

This research can provide medical professionals with a more objective method to detect and prevent mental illnesses early, and it is expected to improve the quality of regional medical services and activate related service industries.

Professor Jeong Jaehyo’s research team at the Chosun University IT Research Institute is participating in the project titled “Development of Federated AI Computing Model in Distributed Environments for Medical Data Privacy Preservation,” which was selected for this project.

This research involves the lead institution Sungkyunkwan University Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation and joint research institutions including Chosun University Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation, Samsung Seoul Hospital, and UTSoft Co., Ltd.

Professor Jeong’s team will receive about 540 million KRW in research funding. The research aims to develop an edge computing-based federated AI platform capable of analysis and learning without moving medical data between nodes, and to demonstrate it using a wearable system capable of measuring multi bio-signals in a distributed environment.

This research is expected not only to develop smart healthcare technologies utilizing large-scale medical data but also to create various AI industry fields through edge computing technology.

Professor Lee Geonho’s research team from the College of Natural Sciences and Public Health Safety at Chosun University (Department of Biomedical Science) was selected for the “Industrial Convergence AI R&D Project” under the theme “Development of Genome-based AI System for Prediction and Diagnosis of Aging Diseases.”

This project involves the lead institution Seoul National University Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation and joint research institutions including Chosun University Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Gwangju Technopark Foundation, and DNA Link Co., Ltd.

Professor Lee Geonho, who leads the Chosun University Gwangju Dementia Cohort Research Group, will build a multi-medical information database related to aging diseases and a long-term genomic cohort for aging diseases with Seoul National University and others through this research.

These studies have been ongoing since April and will continue for 57 months until December 2024. The three research teams recently established a cooperative system among participating institutions through a signing ceremony.
