Dong-A University Professor Kangbae Lee Selected for '2024 Social Science Research Support Project'

Global Agenda Section: Strategies for Responding to Global Supply Chain Crises Using AI Platforms

Dong-A University (President Lee Haewoo) announced on the 5th that Professor Kangbae Lee from the Department of Management Information Systems has been selected for the "2024 Social Science (SSK) Research Support Project" by the Ministry of Education and the National Research Foundation of Korea.

Professor Lee will receive a total research grant of approximately 900 million KRW over the next three years to conduct a study on "Global Supply Chain Crisis Response Strategies Using AI Platforms."

The selected research project aims to propose crisis response strategies to enhance and sustain the competitiveness of Korea's semiconductor industry amid rapidly changing international dynamics by utilizing cutting-edge technologies such as AI, LLM, and knowledge graphs.

Professor Lee's research team plans to establish an AI-based GSC map that will enable Korea's semiconductor industry to maintain its competitiveness and respond effectively to crises within the global supply chain.

This project is highly scalable to other national core industries such as secondary batteries and the chemical industry, and it is expected that the research support will lead to continuous outstanding research outcomes.

Furthermore, the convergence of various academic fields such as management, international politics, and artificial intelligence is expected to simultaneously pursue academic depth and practical value.

Professor Lee stated, "In the rapidly changing landscape of international relations, managing crises in the global supply chain is not merely an economic issue but a critical task directly linked to national security. It is especially meaningful to be able to apply the research experience accumulated over the past eight years in artificial intelligence, particularly in natural language processing, to practical crisis management strategies through this project."

He added, "I will do my best to ensure that the research outcomes make significant contributions not only to the semiconductor industry but also to all national core industries, and I will strive to position regional universities as centers of core knowledge production."
