[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Woo-kwon] The BK21 FOUR Molecular Materials Chemistry Future Talent Education and Research Group of the Department of Chemistry at Gyeongsang National University and the Photochemical Nanomaterials Specialized Core Research Support Center announced on the 7th that they jointly hosted an international conference (iCAM 2020 e-Conference) with the Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology (India) under the theme of the advancement of materials science & technology.

The conference was held online to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), with participation from more than 12 countries including Korea, India, the United States, Brazil, and France in the relevant fields.

It was an international conference where various latest technologies and information knowledge in fields such as materials science, renewable energy, energy storage, and surface engineering were shared. During the conference, over 160 lectures and presentations on research topics and about 70 poster presentations were conducted.

During the conference, Shreyanka Shankar Naik, a doctoral student in the Department of Chemistry at Gyeongsang National University, received the Excellent Paper Award for the topic "Enhancement of Solar Photocatalytic Activity of ZnO/Au/rGO Nanostructures Synthesized by Pulsed Laser."

Master’s students Lee Hye-yeon and Yeon Sang-hoon were recognized for their outstanding research results and received the Excellent Poster Award.

This research is a valuable achievement obtained through the support of the National Research Foundation of Korea, the 4th phase BK21 FOUR Molecular Materials Chemistry Future Talent Education and Research Group, and the "Photochemical Nanomaterials Specialized Core Research Support Center" under the Basic Science Research Capacity Enhancement Project.
