[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Seo Ju-seong (25), a third-year student in the Department of Information and Communication Engineering at Pukyong National University, was selected as a Presidential Science Scholarship student by the Korea Student Aid Foundation this year.

The Presidential Science Scholarship is a program that selects scholarship recipients among science and engineering students at four-year universities in Korea and abroad by evaluating academic performance, scientific problem-solving ability, expression skills, and debate skills, in order to foster outstanding scientists, and provides scholarships accordingly.

Previously, the scholarship was awarded only to freshmen, but starting this year, both freshmen and third-year students are eligible. Seo will receive full tuition coverage and an academic encouragement grant of 2.5 million KRW until graduation.

Since his second year, Seo has been recognized for his capabilities in scientific fields such as artificial intelligence and communications through his work at the Information and Communication Security Laboratory (advisor Professor Hong Jun-pyo) in the Department of Information and Communication Engineering at Pukyong National University.

He was evaluated for his research achievements and future research plans in the field of machine learning, including preparing a research paper that uses machine learning techniques such as deep learning to minimize delay and maximize the performance of ad-hoc network communications.

In addition, his awards in various competitions such as the Fintech Creative Idea Contest, University Student Club Artificial Intelligence Competition, Demo Crowdfunding Startup Competition, Samsung S/W Track Competition, as well as his external activities including serving as a university ICT supporter, were also recognized.

Seo said, “I will continue to research and develop technologies that integrate machine learning with communication technologies.”
