One of the issues came to hit a graduate student, who has published 34 dissertation with SCI level during 2 years of master degree. Attaining master degree in Dankook University on last August, Kyung Sook Yook is the one who entered into PhD degree (polymer science and engineering major)
▶ Kyung Soo Yook(Department of Polymer Science and Engineering)
Normally, graduate students complete two dissertations during 2 years of masters program, while Mr Yook published 34 dissertations, all of them with high quality. Among 34 dissertations, 32 of them were introduced in international well-known journals including 18 dissertations were introduced in the journal in American Physics Society, "Applied Physics Letters," and a well known journal in the field of organic eletronics, "Organic Electronics."
Mr Yook has led a research, focused on the "Organic Light Emitting Diodes, OLED, the topic being spotlighted as the display and state lightening substitutes. OLED, a self emitting light of organic thin film device, is thinner compared to previous LCD, having light colors with high eletrocity economy, and is well known for eco friendly material.
Mr Yook said, "I do not have any hobbies other than leading researches." He came to research lab at 7 am, struggling hard with devices for creating vacuum membranes. One of his co-researchers in the lab said "Mr Yook is diligent, trying to connect a creative approach."
Meeting with professor, Joon Yeup Lee, has led Mr Yook a turning point in terms of studying. At that time, Mr Lee was a young professor after working at Samsung SDI, attaining PhD degree in America. Mr Yook said, "professor Lee was good at dealing with work operations in details at the working fields, motivating me with applied research topics all the time." Professor LEe has led a research for AMOLED at Samsun Electronics.
Professor Lee said about Kyung Soo Yook, "it was expected that he has experienced more than what was covered in the PhD program, leading various researched on his own, and publishing more than 10 patents in the progress that was led with Mr Yook."
Mr Yook has become a cynosure in the field of related business industries, and LG Eletronics has proposed him a love call, but he denied, deciding to go for doctoral degree on last September. Mr Yook said "I want to contribute to a development of lightining in the future as to cultivation of OLED TV by lowering production costs in the area of organic lighening and displays."
