PKNU students selected for the 'national R&D real challenge’ project hosted by KIRD

- Park Soo-Hyun, a graduate student... development and research on techniques to analyze microplastics in fluids


Park Soo-Hyun (1st year student in master's course), who is studying spatial information engineering in the division of earth and environmental system sciences of the Pukyong National University (President Jang Young-Soo) graduate school, has been selected for the program national R&D real challenge 2022 of the Korea institute of human resources development in science and technology (KIRD).

 

The National R&D Real Challenge Program is a project that provides research planning expenses, education, and mentoring so that prospective scientists can develop their R&D project planning capabilities under the theme of a convergence R&D project that challenges scientific challenges.


Research teams made up of science and engineering graduate students receive training on research planning strategies and know-how, and how to write a research plan, also, they receive in-depth mentoring by each research team, close support for the entire research planning process, such as research direction setting and research plan writing, and support from this year on improving R&D project planning capabilities.

 

For this project, Park Hyun oversees research, and Heo Joon-Yong, Park Hye-Min, and Ha Tae-Jeong, who are studying the same major, participate as researchers in this team, will receive a research grant of 19.5 million won for 5 months, and will carry out research on the quantitative analysis method (LRV-CVT) development research for the identification of MPs (microplastics) in fluid (advisory professor Yang Min-Joon).

 

The research team plans to develop a 'LRV-MP mass model' that can quantify the fluorescence intensity of microplastic images stained with 'Nile red', a hydrophobic fluorescent dye, and estimate the microplastic mass concentration from the image.

 

Along with this, the research team is planning to investigate the fluorescence intensity by type and size of polymers constituting microplastics, observe the behavior of microplastics through experiments, and identify their characteristics. <Pukyong Today>
