Researchers at Pukyong National University are actively engaged in research by advancing to the National aeronautics and space administration (NASA) and Harvard university as postdoctoral fellows.

 

They are phd. Choi Won-Yi and phd. Park Joon-Seong, who worked in the hyperspectral remote sensing laboratory led by professor Lee Han-Lim from the spatial information system engineering at Pukyong National University.

 

Phd. Choi Won-Yi was recently selected for the NASA postdoctoral program (NPP, postdoctoral fellowship) and plans to work at NASA Goddard space flight center starting in February, next year.

 

Phd. Choi Won-Yi, who received bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees in the spatial information system engineering major, completed the postdoctoral program at Pukyong National University last year and is currently working as a postdoctoral fellow at Chapman university in the United States. While she was carrying out research on 'development of data processing algorithms and equipment in ground remote exploration equipment and improvement and commercialization of environmental satellite (GEMS) data calculation algorithms', a service project presented by the National institute of environmental research with Pukyong National University, she applied to NASA and achieved her goal.

 

She is recognized for her research capabilities by carrying out major government research projects, such as the development of aerosol vertical profile calculation technology based on low-orbit environmental satellites, as well as excellent research performance, such as the development of air pollutant calculation technology based on hyperspectral remote sensing.

 

She plans to begin research on the topic 'quantifying the Impact of SO2 and aerosols emitted from volcanic eruptions on TOMS ozone retrievals: a long-term analysis since 1978' at NASA Goddard space flight center.

 

Along with her achievements, phd. Park Joon-Seong passed the open recruitment for a post-doctoral research fellow at the HarvardSmithsonian center for astrophysics and has been working as a 'physicist' since last September. This center is an astrophysics research institute jointly operated by Harvard college observatory and the Smithsonian astrophysical observatory.

 

Phd. Park Joon-Seong received his bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees in the spatial information system engineering major and entered this center after completing the global phd fellowship of the National research foundation of Korea and the postdoctoral-domestic fellowship of the basic research project in the field of science and technology.

 

He is recognized for his active researches, including researches on developing operational algorithm for calculating nitrogen dioxide for Korea geostationary environment monitoring spectrometer (GEMS), calculating long-distance moving sulfur dioxide inflow based on satellite data, and investigating formaldehyde calculation and sensitivity using Pandora, a hyperspectral sensor-based ground observation equipment, and now he plans to carry on development research on the ozone vertical profile calculation algorithm for the U.S. geostationary environmental satellite (TEMPO). <Pukyong Today>
