[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yeo Jong-gu] Students from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Yeungnam University have been recognized externally for their research capabilities by sweeping various awards at major academic conferences held this year.

At the '2022 Korean Institute of Electrical and Electronic Materials Summer Conference' held in Pyeongchang, Gangwon Province last June, graduate and undergraduate students from Yeungnam University's Department of Materials Science and Engineering won a total of four awards.

This academic conference featured about 1,400 researchers from domestic universities and research institutions presenting 630 latest research achievements.

Choi Han-seung (4th master's class), a graduate student in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Yeungnam University, received the Best Oral Presentation Award, and 12 undergraduate students including Kim Min-woo, a senior in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, presented joint research results and each received the Best Award in the undergraduate competition.

They presented research results on the design and optimization of energy harvesting devices that generate power by utilizing stray magnetic fields, gaining recognition for their achievements.

In particular, the undergraduate research team that received the Best Award presented the results of their study on "Hybrid Energy Harvesting Using Both the Triboelectric Effect and the Piezoelectric Effect," conducted during last semester's capstone design course, receiving favorable evaluations.

In the Poster Session, graduate student Ye Ji-won (1st master's class) received the Best Award, and a joint research team composed of five undergraduate and graduate students, including senior Lee Ho-young, also received the Best Award.

Additionally, at the '2022 Engineering Ceramics Symposium' held from June 30 to July 1, graduate student Kang Min-ji (3rd master's class) and senior Lee Sang-min from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering each received the Excellent Poster Award.
