Pukyong National University (President Jang Young-Soo) has announced that Joo So-Hee, Shin Joo-Seon, Ph.d. students in the Department of Environmental Engineering, and Ga-Hyun Park, a senior undergraduate, won awards one after another at the Korean Society for Atmospheric Environment conference.

Members of the Atmospheric Environment Remote laboratory (AER) (Advisory Prof. Noh Young-Min) of the Department of Environmental Engineering, Pukyong National University, recently won the paper award and oral presentation award respectively at the 65th conference of the Korean Society for Atmospheric Environment 2022 held at Songdo Convensia, Incheon.

Joo So-Hee was selected as the paper award winner at the conference for her paper ‘a study on the characteristic variations of fine particles in Busan and Ulsan through particle extinction efficiency analysis’.

Shin Joo-Seon received the presentation award for presenting ‘a study on the improvement of scanning LiDAR signal processing and analysis algorithms’ in the special session of the specialized graduate school of fine dust management at this academic conference, and Park Ga-Hyeon received the oral presentation award for her paper ‘analysis on the effect of relative humidity on the mass extinction efficiency using LiDAR data’.

In addition, a study on ‘method of range resolved extinction coefficients by using continuous wave light sources and camera (CW-Lidar)’ jointly conducted by Prof. Noh Young-Min from the laboratory and Prof. Kim Deok-Hyeon from Hanbat National University was published last year by the Korean Society for Atmospheric Environment was selected for the paper presentation award at the conference and won the best prize at this academic conference.

Professor Noh Young-Min from Pukyong National University said, “I think that the significance and achievements of the research results were recognized by conducting various applied studies applying the latest remote sensing technology for atmospheric environment analysis.”

Professor Noh Young-min is the head of the fine dust management specialization graduate school, a professional manpower training project at Pukyong National University, and is carrying out a research project for technology to reduce fine dust. <Pukyong Today>
