Recognized for Excellence in Enhancing Upconversion Material Efficiency

Shilla University (President Heo Nam-sik) announced on the 6th that graduate student Kim Tae-yoon, who participated in the '20th Busan Future Scientist Award' academic conference, received the Excellence Award in the Master of Engineering category.

The '20th Busan Future Scientist Award' academic conference, hosted by Busan City and organized by the Busan Science and Technology Council to foster academic abilities of science and engineering university (graduate) students and high school students in the Busan area and to discover and nurture local talent, began accepting applications in October, proceeded through document and presentation evaluations, and announced the winners on December 5th.

Graduate student Kim Tae-yoon, who is enrolled in the master's program majoring in Energy Materials Engineering at Shilla University and participated in this academic conference, developed an upconversion material that increases the luminescence intensity of optical conversion materials usable for bioimaging and security by more than 1100 times. He received high evaluation for his systematic explanation of the research results and was awarded the Excellence Award in the Master of Engineering category.

While enrolled in the master's program in Energy Materials Engineering at Shilla University, Kim has contributed as the first author to two papers, including one SCI-level paper, and has filed two patents, demonstrating various research achievements.

Professor Park Sang-moon, Kim’s advisor at Shilla University, said, "Graduate students in Energy Materials Engineering, including Kim Tae-yoon, actively participate in research and contribute to the publication of excellent domestic and international papers and patent applications," adding, "We will guide them to achieve even more active research outcomes."

Graduate student Kim Tae-yoon, along with advisor Professor Park Sang-moon, is also contributing to regional development by participating in the Busan regional innovation platform Regional Innovation (RIS) project.
