[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-su] The Ministry of Science and ICT and the Korea Industrial Technology Association announced on the 9th that the recipients of the "Korea Engineer Award" for August are Park Hyung-ho, Research Fellow at LG Electronics Co., Ltd., and Shin Ik-cheol, Senior Researcher at Daelim MTI Co., Ltd.

Park Hyung-ho, Research Fellow at LG Electronics Co., Ltd., was selected as an awardee in recognition of his contributions to the development of the air management industry through the development of a dry-wet hybrid air purifier, an electronic mask, and the establishment of an accredited air science research institute in the fields of microorganisms and fine dust.

Research Fellow Park developed the world's first dry-wet hybrid air purifier inspired by the natural air purification principle and an air purifier that visualizes the air purification effect. He also created a new market for personal hygiene appliances through the development of an electronic mask.

Shin Ik-cheol, Senior Researcher at Daelim MTI Co., Ltd., was recognized for his contributions to strengthening the industrial competitiveness of materials and parts through the development of high-precision automotive parts forming technology using precision cold forging technology and the efficiency improvement of production systems. Cold forging technology involves complex production processes to ensure precision and durability, which increases production costs. Senior Researcher Shin succeeded in reducing production costs by establishing an efficient production process system through precision mold design and optimized production equipment manufacturing. He applied cold forging forming processes and mold design technology to automotive steering parts for the first time in Korea, enhancing the durability and quality precision of parts, and laid the foundation for increasing the reliability of domestic automotive parts by exporting to global automotive parts companies.
