Samsung Electro-Mechanics and Seoul National University Join Forces for Advanced Materials Research... Boosting MLCC Competitiveness

Samsung Electro-Mechanics and Seoul National University have established the Advanced Materials Industry-Academic Cooperation Center to promote joint research in the field of advanced materials. On September 22, the two parties held a signing ceremony at the College of Engineering at Seoul National University and agreed to fully initiate industry-academic cooperation over the next five years in materials, components, and artificial intelligence (AI) process technologies.

The event was attended by Jang Deokhyun, President of Samsung Electro-Mechanics; Choi Jaeyeol, Executive Vice President and Head of the Component Business Division; Joo Hyuk, Executive Vice President and Head of the Central Research Center; Kim Youngoh, Dean of the College of Engineering at Seoul National University; Shim Byeonghyo, Vice Dean for Academic Affairs; Kim Sungjae, Chair of External Cooperation; and Lee Myungkyu, Head of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering.

At the Advanced Materials Industry-Academic Cooperation Center, more than ten professors from Seoul National University will participate in research on multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) materials and processes, as well as projects to secure fundamental technologies based on mechanism analysis. Master's and doctoral researchers will also take part in these studies, and Samsung Electro-Mechanics plans to connect this research with recruitment efforts to secure outstanding talent.

Jang Deokhyun stated, "In a situation where technological competition in the materials and components industry is intensifying, this agreement with Seoul National University will serve as an opportunity not only to strengthen Samsung Electro-Mechanics' competitiveness but also to reinforce the foundation of the domestic industry."

Kim Youngoh commented, "Block funding-type industry-academic cooperation is an effective model that guarantees the university's autonomy and builds a sustainable research environment," adding, "It will contribute to the advancement of the advanced materials and components industry."
