Pukyong National University (President Jang Young-Soo) announced that the thesis written by Seong Young-Ho (3rd year), an undergraduate student majoring in Biomedical engineering and IT convergence, was published in the SCIE-level international journal <Catena> (IF: 6.2).
Seong Young-Ho recently published a paper, 'A novel approach to estimate sand particle-size using convolutional neural network with acoustic sensing' (advisor Lim Hae-Gyun) as a lead author in this journal.
<Catena> is a world-renowned academic journal with a top 8.4% in the journal citation report (JCR) in the multidisciplinary geosciences.
Seong Young-Ho suggested a solution to develop a system that predicts size of sand particles using ultrasonic reflection signals and a convolutional neural network (CNN) in a joint study with the team led by professor Won Jong-Mok from the university of Ulsan and professor Choi Hang-Seok from Korea national university. The particle size of sand is one of the soil characteristics that is important for estimating phenomena related to water flow, such as soil erosion (soil erosion level due to rainfall).
His research was highly evaluated for its non-destructive and continuous measurement using ultrasonic reflection signals and convolutional neural networks, and its potential for use in various geotechnical applications.
Seong Young-Ho carried out this research with support from the regional leading research center (RLRC) at National research foundation of Korea and the BrainLink.
Since his second year of undergraduate studies, he has devoted himself to research as a research student in a combined bachelor's and master's program in the biomedical ultrasound lab of the biomedical engineering major at Pukyong National University, and he has published two papers as the main author in international academic journals this year alone.
Advisor Lim Hae-Gyun said, "He has been making good progress since his undergraduate studies, and I look forward to his future research. I believe that the 4th stage of the BK21 graduate school support project, which supports talented students like Seong Young-Ho, will help link undergraduate-graduate courses and encourage excellent undergraduate students to enter graduate school." <Pukyong Today>
