[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Three students from Pukyong National University, including Shim Hyun-bo, received awards such as the 18th Busan Future Scientist Award, Grand Prize, and Excellence Award on the 7th.

Shim Hyun-bo, majoring in Polymer Engineering at Pukyong National University, won the Grand Prize in the master's course engineering category at this year's Busan Future Scientist Award ceremony.

Shim Hyun-bo received the Grand Prize for his research achievements, including synthesizing and applying polymer-precious metal nanocrystal hybrid materials.

He was recognized for his contributions in producing hydrogels combined with precious metal nanostructures to solve water pollution problems, applying them to flow catalytic reactors, synthesizing precious metal nanostructures using polymers, and utilizing iodide ions as visual sensors.

Apandi Mohamad Malik from the Department of Convergence Display Engineering received the Excellence Award in the doctoral course engineering category for his research achievement in developing the first metal-oxide-semiconductor structured electroluminescent device emitting vacuum ultraviolet rays, securing high application value for sterilization and disinfection.

Jung Hyun-ji from the Department of Convergence Display Engineering received the Excellence Award in the master's course engineering category for her achievement in forming a white light-emitting electroluminescent device with a single material and device on a silicon substrate, unlike existing white devices, and leading research outcomes expected to enable large-area and low-cost white devices.

The Busan Future Scientist Award has been held since 2005 to foster the next generation of regional scientific talents, and this year's award ceremony was held on the 7th at the 12th floor international conference hall of Busan City Hall.
