Professor Oe-yeon Kim of the Department of Environmental Life Chemistry wins the WBF-Seok-Oh Life Scientist Award

Prof. 김외연 of 경상국립대 wins the WBF-석오생명과학자상 - Selected by 여성생명과학기술포럼; for women scientists with over 10 years of experience - Recognized for achievements in plant circadian clock research and for contributions to operating a national large-scale research center based at a regional university Prof. 김외연 (농업생명과학대학 환경생명화학과) of 경상국립대 (President 권진회) has received the '2026 WBF-석오생명과학자상' presented by 여성생명과학기술포럼 (WBF·Women's Bioscience Forum). She was recognized for her research achievements in the field of plant circadian clocks, her leadership in driving national large-scale collaborative research based at a regional university, and her contributions to expanding the growth base for women scientists and next-generation researchers. The WBF-석오생명과학자상 is selected by 여성생명과학기술포럼 for women scientists with over 10 years of experience who have achieved outstanding research results in the life sciences, and is sponsored by the global beauty and bio-healthcare company 한국콜마홀딩스. Prof. 김외연 has studied the operating principles of the plant circadian clock, by which plants perceive the 24-hour daily cycle and link it to growth and development, metabolism, and environmental adaptation. Focusing on the core circadian protein GIGANTEA (GI), she has elucidated molecular regulatory mechanisms that connect light, flowering, protein stability, sugar and energy metabolism, root growth, and environmental stress responses, thereby broadening the scope of her research. Recently, she has expanded her research to view the circadian clock not merely as a timekeeping system but as a key regulatory system that determines 'when plants grow, when they use energy, and when they respond to environmental stress.' This research is expected to serve as a scientific foundation for developing crops that can maintain productivity under climate change and resource-limited conditions. Since 2022, she has been leading large-scale collaborative research as director of 식물생체리듬연구센터, an 한국연구재단 선도연구센터(SRC). As a woman scientist at a regional university serving as the principal investigator of a national large-scale collaborative research program and establishing a research hub, her role is regarded as a case demonstrating that world-class research outcomes can be produced at regional universities beyond the Seoul metropolitan–centered research environment. She also serves as a project leader in the regional research sector of the 경상남도 앵커 사업, linking the university’s research capabilities with local industries and innovation institutions and building a foundation for young researchers educated in the region to establish their careers locally. Drawing on her experience of raising three children while continuing research and teaching and becoming a full member of the 한국과학기술한림원, she has provided mentoring opportunities to help young women researchers, including graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, sustain their research careers and grow independently. Prof. 김외연 said, 'I consider this award not so much a personal achievement as a result made possible by the students and colleagues who have worked with me thus far,' adding, 'I hope the path I have walked will serve as a small encouragement that helps the next generation of women scientists to keep pursuing their questions and to conduct research over the long term.' She continued, 'If my work so far has studied how plants perceive and use time, going forward I would like to develop it into research that creates crops resilient to climate change and environmental stress and that use resources efficiently,' and stated, 'From research that seeks to understand plants’ time, I will move toward research that changes the future of agriculture with plants’ time.' ·Photo caption:Prof. 김외연 (농업생명과학대학 환경생명화학과) has received the '2026 WBF-석오생명과학자상' presented by 여성생명과학기술포럼 (WBF·Women's Bioscience Forum).

Two graduate students from the Department of Nano and Advanced Materials Convergence Engineering win the Best Poster Award at STEMa–ICEAST 2026

Two graduate students from the Department of Nano–New Materials Convergence Engineering receive Outstanding Poster Awards at STEMa–ICEAST 2026 - An international conference in new materials and engineering held in Bangkok, Thailand, September 3–4 - Recognized for research achievements on a multifunctional fuel cell additive and on environmental performance comparisons of reinforcement bars At Gyeongsang National University (President Jin-Hoe Kwon), PhD candidate Yu-Gyeong Jeong and MS student Hyeong-Jin Ji of the Department of Nano–New Materials Convergence Engineering each received an Outstanding Poster Award at the international conference STEMa–ICEAST 2026. STEMa–ICEAST is a joint international conference organized by STEMa (International Conference on Science and Technology of Emerging Materials) in the field of new materials science and technology and ICEAST (International Conference on Engineering, Applied Sciences and Technology) in engineering and applied sciences. It was held September 3–4 at King Mongkut's University in Bangkok, Thailand, and served as a venue to share the latest research outcomes in advanced functional materials, energy and environmental materials, nanomaterials, polymer materials, and other areas of engineering and applied sciences. Yu-Gyeong Jeong (advisor: Kihyun Kim) presented on a dual-functional proton-conductive antioxidant additive for stabilizing membranes and air-electrode binders. To address the long-term durability degradation of fuel cells, the team developed a multifunctional organic additive, "HP-F4," that combines radical-scavenging and proton-conducting functions, and applied it to a Nafion electrolyte membrane and the cathode catalyst layer, confirming that it suppresses conductivity loss of the membrane under oxidative conditions and improves thermal and mechanical stability as well as electrochemical durability. This study proposes a new materials-design strategy that mitigates degradation of both the electrolyte membrane and the catalyst layer with a single additive. Hyeong-Jin Ji (advisor: Dongjun Kwon) presented on a literature-based environmental comparison of steel rebar and fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) rebars for the development of vitrimer rebars. Using literature and Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) data, the study compared the environmental burdens from raw material supply to manufacturing for steel rebar and FRP rebars based on glass fiber, carbon fiber, and basalt fiber. When analyzed on an equivalent tensile-performance basis, the global-warming impact of glass-fiber and basalt-fiber rebars was 35.49% and 21.35% lower, respectively, than that of steel rebar. This indicates that environmental assessments of reinforcements must consider both required material performance and quantity used, and provides foundational data for material selection and environmental evaluation in developing vitrimer-based rebars. Yu-Gyeong Jeong said, "I am very pleased that this award recognizes the research efforts we have made so far, and I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Professor Kihyun Kim for his unfailing guidance and advice. The diverse research support, including Gyeongsang National University's Priority Research Institute Project and the BK21 Program, greatly helped us achieve good research outcomes." Hyeong-Jin Ji said, "Through this study, we were able to confirm the importance of research that considers not only the performance of structural materials but also their environmental impacts. I am deeply grateful to Professor Dongjun Kwon for his meticulous guidance throughout the research. Support from Gyeongsang National University's Priority Research Institute Project and the BK21 Program greatly contributed to this achievement, and I hope to continue this research going forward." ·Photo caption:From left: PhD candidate Yu-Gyeong Jeong and MS student Hyeong-Jin Ji of the Department of Nano–New Materials Convergence Engineering Department in charge:Department of Nano–New Materials Engineering, Professors Kihyun Kim and Dongjun Kwon |055-772-1655 / 055-772-1656This page is provided via AI machine translation.

Gyeongsang National University Professor Deokjong Kim’s research team is awarded an international basic research project by the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory - To run for three years (2026–2029) with a budget of $225,000 - Aiming to develop porous endothermic layer-based thermal protection design technology The research team of Professor Deokjong Kim in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, College of Engineering, Gyeongsang National University (President Jinhoe Kwon) has been awarded an international basic research project from the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL, Air Force Research Laboratory) to develop thermal protection technology for hypersonic vehicles. The research period is three years, from September 2026 to September 2029, with a total budget of $225,000. It is supported through AOARD (Asian Office of Aerospace Research and Development), the Asia–Pacific research support organization of the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) under the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory. The project title is 'Thermochemically Buffered Porous Endothermic Layer for Hypersonic Thermal Protection: Predictive Design Methodology for Buffering, Venting, and Integrity'. Because hypersonic vehicles are exposed to extremely high-temperature environments during flight, high-performance thermal protection technologies that can protect internal structures and key equipment are essential. Professor Deokjong Kim’s team is researching a porous endothermic layer that can effectively mitigate the high heat loads imposed in extreme thermal environments, along with predictive techniques to systematically design it. The goal is to expand the accumulated heat and mass transfer and thermal management technologies for porous materials to the field of hypersonic vehicle thermal protection and to lay the groundwork for new thermal management design technologies by linking theory, numerical analysis, and experiments. Professor Deokjong Kim said, “In extreme environments such as hypersonic vehicles, very large heat loads occur over short periods, so there are thermal management issues that are difficult to solve with conventional insulation alone,” adding, “Through this research, we aim to establish a design foundation for new thermal protection technologies that can cope with extreme thermal environments.” He continued, “Leveraging this award, we will expand research exchanges and joint research opportunities with researchers at the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory and create opportunities for our graduate students to interact with world-class research institutions and researchers,” and stated, “In the long term, we plan to expand our research into thermal management for various extreme environments, including the aerospace and defense industries.” Meanwhile, AFOSR is the organization responsible for basic research within the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory and supports basic research conducted by universities and research institutions around the world to secure the science and technology base needed for future aerospace fields.
