Discovering a Black Hole's Unexpected Twist Even Einstein Couldn't Have Predicted
2025-10-01 Research
This image, derived obtained from observations made in 2021, comes three years after the first black hole observation in human history in 2017 and the follow-up observations made in 2018. By comparing the datasets, the team explored the temporal evolution of the M87, analyzing how the black hole’s appearance changes over time. Their findings revealed that while the central dark region, known as the black hole shadow, and the ring of light bent by the black hole's immense gravity remain constant in size, the polarization pattern around the black hole has dynamically shifted over time.More -
Connector Technology Development and Successful Demonstration of Data Transmission & Reception
2025-10-01 Research
Led by Professors Sangmin-Michelle Lee, Seokhee Jeon, and Tack Woo, the research team collaborated with the Korean company Y-Matics Inc. to jointly develop connector technology that enables data transmission, reception, and settlement within the metaverse, a breakthrough that has attracted significant attention. The experiment was conducted in a metaverse-style replica of Woojungwon, the university building that houses the department. Through the newly developed connector, the team successfully visualized the process of transmitting 3D spatial data and user behavior logs generated by movements within the metaverse Woojungwon. During the demonstration, Y-Matics’s domestically developed data space connector enabled not only simple data exchange but also settlement functionality. Users can directly access desired data through a data space catalog and process usage settlement by data type through a clearinghouse, establishing a technical foundation for future data transactions.More -
Skills Honed at Kyung Hee, Tested on the Global Stage Through WCPD
2025-09-24 Research
The WCPD Program provides newly minted PhDs with a year of financial support for overseas research, aiming to sustain early-stage academic careers and raise the quality of research. This year, two scholars were selected: Dr. Sumin Cho from the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Dr. Youngsang Ko from the Department of Plant & Environmental New Resources. “I earned every degree—from bachelor’s to PhD—at Kyung Hee and was eager to challenge myself in a new research setting,” Dr. Ko said. “This fellowship will enable me to pursue collaborative research abroad.” Dr. Ko first encountered nanomaterials as an undergraduate and quickly committed to graduate research. “It wasn’t easy at the start, but my advisor, Professor Jungmok You, kept me on track,” he said. “Each publication was another push forward.” The lab hosts homecoming days twice a year to connect alumni and current members. “I didn’t have to go it alone—that’s why I could go farther,” Ko said. “Those 28 papers aren’t mine alone; they belong to my professor and my lab mates, too.”More -
Ambitions Nurtured at Kyung Hee, Advanced Abroad Through WCPD
2025-09-24 Academic
The WCPD Program provides newly minted PhDs with a year of financial support for overseas research, aiming to sustain early-stage academic careers and raise the quality of research. This year, two scholars were selected: Dr. Sumin Cho from the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Dr. Youngsang Ko from the Department of Plant & Environmental New Resources. For Dr. Cho, the program marks the latest chapter in a journey closely tied to Kyung Hee. Since enrolling in Mechanical Engineering in 2014, he has pursued every stage of his academic career at the University. “As an undergraduate research assistant, I naturally became interested in graduate school,” he recalled. “Working on papers and projects during my master’s studies opened my eyes to the many opportunities available here. I decided to continue into the PhD program because of the strong collaboration with my advisor, Professor Dongwhi Choi, and fellow researchers. With them, I felt I could gain even greater experience.”More -
Kyung Hee Earns KIPO’s 2025 Honor for Excellence in IP Management
2025-09-24 Research
The designation recognizes universities that have posted strong results across the IP portfolio over the past three years and is intended to promote revenue-oriented IP management. With this status, the IACF will receive IP points from KIPO that can be used to cover the costs of creating, prosecuting, and maintaining IP—support expected to protect research outputs and strengthen IP management for overseas expansion. Under the vision of building a global network that turns IP into real-world value, the IACF set five strategic pillars with detailed action plans. It enhanced in-house expertise and expanded ongoing training to make IP management more systematic. It also launched an Overseas Filing Fast Track and retained international patent firms, laying the institutional groundwork for a higher-quality IP portfolio.More
