Pukyong National University (President Jang Young-Soo) announced that six students, including graduate student Yoo Young-Bin (department of aquatic life medicine), won the grand and excellence prize at the 19th Busan future scientist award.
Yoo Young-Bin (advisor Kang Ju-Chan) was selected as the grand prize winner in the doctoral program science category in recognition of his passionate research achievements in establishing toxicological indicators of microplastics and publishing 9 sci-level papers, including analysis of microplastic accumulation through fluorescent staining.
Through his research on the thesis 'bioaccumulation, hematological properties and antioxidant response of crucian carp exposed to microplastics', he has been conducting various in-depth studies to evaluate the toxic effects of microplastics, which are having a negative impact on various aquatic organisms.
Along with his award, Astrini Pradyasti (advisor Kim Mun-Ho) and Rahmatia Fitri Binti Nasrun (advisor Kim Joo-Hyeon), majoring in polymer engineering in graduate school, each received an excellence award in the doctoral engineering category.
Astrini was recognized for her research on the paper 'synthesis of Pd-AuAg trimetal nanohybrids with controlled heterostructures and their application in the continuous flow catalytic reduction of Cr(VI)' by developing a continuous flow catalytic reduction system using various types of Pd-AuAg nanoparticles synthesized through a seed-mediated growth reaction.
Nasrun conducted research on 'naphthalene diimide-based cathode intermediate layer: strategy for inverse organic solar cells without zinc oxide', and researched ways to improve the efficiency of organic solar cells using various ionic functional groups and to lower their costs through research on practical use methods, and these were evaluated as being expected to be put into practical use.
Ahn Yu-Mi (advisor Park Sung-Heum), a graduate student in physics received an excellence award in the science category of the master's program for her research on the interaction of polymer materials and the improvement of organic solar cell performance by demonstrating a new polymeric electron donor material that is promising for improving the performance of organic solar cells through her paper 'efficient dialkyl-difluoro-substituted quinoxaline-based medium bandgap polymeric donor for high-energy-converting organic solar cells'.
Kim Hyeon-Jin and Kim Jeong-Eun (advisor Kim Mun-Ho), graduate students majoring in polymer engineering, each received an excellence award in the master's program engineering category. Kim Hyeon-Jin received excellent evaluation for her paper 'synthesis of bimetallic-nanocrystal-decorated rice bowl-shaped polymer particles for catalytic Cr (VI) remediation' for her research on the application of improved catalytic properties using particle synthesis and structural characteristics of polystyrene microparticles. Also, Kim Jeong-Eun was recognized for her research on the synthesis of silver nanostructures using polymers and the application of copper ions to optical sensors using the complex formation of ligands and copper ions with her paper 'colorimetric sensing of Cu (II) ions in water on the basis of selective chemical etching of EDA-capped Ag nanoplates'. <Pukyong Today>
