Silla University Battery Department Wins 'Outstanding Paper Presentation Award' at Korean Materials Society Fall Conference

The Department of Battery Engineering at Silla University received the Excellent Paper Presentation Award at the ‘2023 Fall Conference of the Korean Materials Society.’

The conference was held from the 15th to the 17th at the Lahan Hotel in Gyeongju, hosted by the Korean Materials Society, where over 450 papers were presented by researchers from industry, academia, and research institutes in the materials field.

This conference is the largest academic event in the materials field, facilitating the exchange of research achievements in electronics, semiconductors, energy, optoelectronic displays, secondary batteries, bio, biomimetic integrated electronic devices, and nanomaterials.

From the Department of Battery Engineering at Silla University, senior students Kim Ju-young, Lee Ji-min, Cha Min-gyu, Jo Jeong-hyeon, and junior students Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan, Lim Su-jeong, and Kim Dong-hyeok each presented one paper, totaling seven papers. Among them, junior student Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan won the Excellent Paper Presentation Award in the poster presentation category.

Student Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan received high evaluation for her paper titled ‘Properties of Eu-doped KNbO3 Thin Films Grown by Radio-frequency Magnetron Sputtering,’ which concerns a new high-efficiency red light-emitting thin film material applicable to electroluminescent devices, displays, and solid-state light sources.

She not only participated in this conference but also presented a paper at the ‘Global Conference on Innovation Materials 2023’ held last June.

Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan from the Department of Battery Engineering at Silla University said, “Under the meticulous guidance of my professor, I gained research experience using the department’s excellent thin film deposition equipment and analytical instruments. I am happy to have formed close relationships with senior and junior students in the department and to have received an award at the academic conference, which makes my study abroad experience rewarding.”

Professor Jo Shin-ho of the Department of Battery Engineering stated, “I have seen undergraduate students participate in national specialized academic conferences related to their major, discuss with master’s and doctoral students from other universities, learn various research methods, and pursue graduate studies for deeper academic and research development. To enhance students’ employment and career paths, it is necessary to develop policies that provide more opportunities for students to participate in national academic conferences.”

The Department of Battery Engineering at Silla University was selected for the university-supported academic society club project. Through this club project, students gather weekly to read and discuss various domestic and international papers, deepen their understanding of research directions, and conduct new thin film material research, steadily preparing for academic conferences.
