[Press Release] Professor Kyunghan Lee awarded the 2024 Sinyang Outstanding Researcher Award
Seoul National University College of Engineering held an award ceremony on the 16th at Engineering Building 38 to honor six professors selected as recipients of the 2024 Sinyang Outstanding Researcher Award.
The Sinyang Outstanding Researcher Award was established to encourage educational and research activities among faculty at the College of Engineering. It was funded by the late Seok-Gyu Jung, an alumnus and founder of Taesung Rubber Co., and the former Chairman of the Sinyang Cultural Foundation, through a donation to the Sinyang Cultural Foundation. This award is granted to professors under the age of 49 who have recently been promoted to associate or full professor within the last two years and have achieved excellence in education and research. First held in 2005, this year marks the 20th anniversary of the awards.
The 2024 recipients include Professors Yongrae Park (Department of Mechanical Engineering), Jungyun Seon (Department of Materials Science and Engineering), and Kyunghan Lee (Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering) in the academic category, along with Professors Yongjoo Choi (Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering), Seongjoo Lee (Department of Industrial Engineering), and Takuji Oda (Department of Nuclear Engineering) in the educational category.
Professor Kyunghan Lee of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering published various world-class research works under the vison of integrating mobile communication systems with computing systems to enable mobile and wearable devices achieving near-infinite computational capacity. In 2021, he became the first researcher from an Asian university to win the Best Paper Award as the lead author at the ACM MobiSys, the most prestigious international conference in mobile computing. This year, he won the Best Paper Award from the Journal of Communications and Networks (JCN), a prominent SCI journal in telecommunications, highlighting his international impact. In particular, Professor Lee is credited with advancing Korea’s global leadership in next-generation mobile communication systems through successfully incorporating his own connected computing architecture into the design of 6G mobile communication systems.
“I am deeply grateful to the NXC Lab members for their trust in our shared goal of advancing human augmentation through the fusion of network and computing technologies,” Professor Lee remarked. “I also extend my heartfelt thanks to my fellow professors for silently making world-class research and to the dean’s office for their efforts in elevating the prestige of Seoul National University’s College of Engineering.”
