[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Geon-ju] Kwon Oh-seok, a student in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Jeonbuk National University, was selected as a Presidential Science Scholarship student this year.

According to Jeonbuk National University on the 15th, the "Presidential Science Scholarship" is a special government scholarship program designed to discover and support outstanding students with creativity and potential in the field of science and technology early on, aiming to cultivate a world-class core group of scientists. Previously, the scholarship was awarded only to freshmen, but this year, for the first time, current students were also selected.

Accordingly, Kwon Oh-seok will receive full tuition support until graduation from the Korea Scholarship Foundation, along with a 2.5 million KRW academic encouragement stipend per semester, enabling him to realize his dream of becoming an engineer who will lead the future.

Kwon Oh-seok is already an active researcher under the supervision of Professor Han Ji-hoon in the Energy Process Engineering Laboratory of the Department of Chemical Engineering.

He has co-authored papers in SCI-level journals on the topic of "Development and Evaluation of Bioethanol or Biogas Production Processes from Food Waste," and published one paper in a domestic journal on "Process Design and Economic Evaluation for Syngas Production Based on Kenaf."

Through this selection, he plans to conduct research to develop an optimization model for designing a transportation fuel supply chain network produced from unused domestic carbon sources.

Kwon Oh-seok said, "I was able to participate in many research activities with the help of my professor and senior lab members, which enabled me to be selected as a Presidential Science Scholarship student," and added, "I will strive to grow as a researcher who meets the purpose of this scholarship program, which is to nurture the best students in the field of science and technology."
