Nobel prize in Physics of 2018 was awarded to two research areas that are acknowledged for their groundbreaking inventions in the field of laser physics. Arthur Ashkin (Bell LaboratoriesResearcher, 96), who invented ‘optical tweezers’ and applied it to research in biology, is one of the winners.

Domestic researchers developed a wearable electronic device platform that can stretch easily like the human skin and, without restraint, disperse the force inflicted on the device during deformation. This seems to have paved the way for developing wearable devices that function stably without a drop in performance even when twisted.

SNU ECE Prof. Yoonchan Jeong was recently named OSA fellow. According to an announcement by SNU on the 5th, Prof. Jeong was the first in the world to develop multi-kilowatt single-mode fiber laser, and he elucidated the probabilistic photon mechanics phenomenon of quasi mode-locking fiber laser.

SNU ECE Prof. Seung-Woo Seo, who is leading SNU Intelligent Vehicle IT Research Center, appeared at the National Assembly in person to talk about the difficulties of developing urban self-driving technology.

During 28th to 29th of September, there was the 2018 Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering ECE is One Outing at Elysian Gangchon Resort for one night and two days.

It was announced that the SNU team of Prof. Yong Sang Song(Seoul National University Hospital) and Prof. Sunghoon Kwon(Dept. of ECE) analyzed genomes and constructed phylogenetic trees that visualize evolution in the shape of branches in order to investigate the genetic evolution of ovarian cancer cells.

SNU ECE undergraduate student Jaeyeon Yoon presented his research during the ‘Annual Meeting of International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine’(6,000 participants), the largest conference in the field of MRI, which was held from June 16th to 21st in Paris, France.

On August 31st, 2018, the information session for graduate program spring admissions was held at Room 118 in Building 301.

It was announced on the 13th that researchers of KAIST and Seoul National University won the Google AI Focused Research Awards Program for the first time as a Korean. The award recipients are professor Sung Ju Hwang and Steven Whang of KAIST, and professors Bohyung Han and Wonyong Sung of SNU.
