Pukyong National University (President Jang Young-Soo) announced that the paper of Seong Young-Ho (3rd-grader), an undergraduate student majoring in Biomedical engineering and IT convergence at the division of Smart healthcare, was published in <Minerals engineering>, an SCIE-level international academic journal.

Seong Young-Ho recently published a paper, 'Automated classification of clay suspension using acoustic sensing combined with convolutional neural network' (advisory prof. Lim Hae-Gyun) as a lead author in this journal.

<Minerals engineering> is a world-renowned academic journal with a top 10% in the journal citation report (JCR) and a citation index (IF) of 4.8 in the Mineralogy.

Seong Young-Ho presented in this paper the research results of developing an automated system that classifies clay particles using ultrasonic signals and a convolutional neural network (CNN) in a joint study with the team led by professor Won Jong-Muk from the department of civil and environmental engineering at the university of Ulsan.

Clay is commonly found in mine waste, and effective disposal of clay particles and reliable waste management are very important. In particular, it is required to continuously monitor clay particles during the dewatering process, and the automated system developed in this study will solve this problem and is evaluated as suggesting a potential application in the future.

His advisory professor Lim Hae-Gyun explained, "This study suggests the possibility of using a technology that combines ultrasound-based acoustic measurement and artificial intelligence by applying artificial intelligence and technology to actual sites. I expect that artificial intelligence and ultrasound technology will further develop through future work." <Pukyong Today>
