POSTECH Research Teams among Top 100 Korean Research Achievers
12/29/2010 - POSTECH research teams are selected among the Korean Ministry of Education, Science and Technology`s top 100 research achievers for the National Research & Development Project.
POSTECH research teams have been selected among the Korean Ministry of Education, Science and Technology`s top 100 research achievers for the National Research & Development Project.
Six POSTECH research teams were nominated, the largest among other institutions. The winners, who were awarded for their R&D projects sourced by the government in 2009, included Lee Jin-won (Mechanical Engineering), Cho Dong-woo (Integrative Biosciences & Biotechnology), Cho Moon-ho(Material Science and Engineering), Choi Hee-cheul (Chemistry), Lee Young-sook (Life Science) and Chang Yoon-seok (Environmental Science and Engineering).
Professor Lee Jin-won`s team used nano particle beams to develop nano-level contamination removal technology, while Cho Dong-woo`s team developed 3D chronoscopic bio-scaffold technology to reproduce body organs.
Cho Moon-ho`s team succeeded in developing technology for the large-scale assembly of silicon nanowire, and Choi Hee-cheul`s team synthesized square nano tubes made of porphyrin. Lee Young-suk`s team pioneered the discovery of plant hormone transporters that support plants in enduring unfavorable environments, while Chang Yoon-seok`s team was awarded for its achievements in developing nano-bio convergence systems for processing toxic material.
The Top 100 Research Achievements for the National Research & Development Project was founded to promote public interest in science and technology.
Research projects, which are conducted under 16 government agencies, are reviewed by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. This year, 328 projects were awarded. Research results can be viewed via a casebook, online or at a poster exhibition.
