Professor Lee Jun-yeop was ranked No. 1 in number of engineering research papers published by Joongang Daily’s university evaluation
He published 41 research papers in top international academic journals in 2012 regarding OLED related research.
Professor Lee (Department of Polymer Science and Engineering) was ranked 1st nationwide for engineering research publications in the university evaluations by the Joongang Daily in 2012.
According to the university evaluation data announced by Joongang Daily on Oct 9, professor Lee obtained 41.8 points in individual international research publications and was selected as a research master in the engineering field.
DKU’s “Research Master” was named after reviewers evaluated 51,154 research papers published in academic journals representing the top 60% among 86,055 research papers posted in SCI level international academic journals last year by professors. The contribution rate of each professor in the relevant research papers were multiplied by the impact factor of each journal to calculate the final scores.
Last year, Professor Lee developed the blue luminous OLED element, which was found to have the best efficiency rate in the world, and he posted 41 related papers in the top materials science journals. Besides that, he transferred the related technology to a domestic major company and trained many experts in the OLED field by focusing efforts on training younger students.
Professor Lee graduated from Seoul National University and received his Master’s and Doctoral Degrees from the same university. He was appointed to our university in 2005. Currently, he is executing research on development of organic material for OLED, development of new OLED element structure, development of organic solar batteries, development of organic TFT, development of macromolecule nano material, etc.
Professor Park Bum-jo was named among the top 10% in the List of World Economists
Based on the number of downloads of his publications, according to the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB).
Professor Park Bum-jo (Department of Economics) has been named among the top 10% on the List of World Economists announced by Federal Reserve Bank (FRB).
At the beginning of every month, FRB’s Economic Research Division announces the list of top 10% of world economic organizations, economic academic journals and economists registered in Research Papers in Economics (RePEc) based on a table reflecting number of references, number of downloads, and international levels of research papers.
Professor Park was ranked in the top 10% of world economists based on the accumulated number of downloads for the last one year in the data announced by RePEc in Aug 2012. World class scholars who are registered to RePEc include Economics Nobel Prize winners Joseph Stiglitz and Paul Krugman and economist Peter Diamond.
Professor Park has been receiving recent attention in the academic world for his successful publications in financial economics and behavioral economics related to financial risk and uncertainty in the field’s famous academic journals, like Journal of Financial Markets, Journal of Banking and Finance, etc.
An economic research team led by professor Park has been at the helm of the research in this field after Park was selected for a SKK (Social Sciences Korea) project of the Korea Research Foundation under the subject of ‘Future Economics Society under Uncertainty based on Behavioral Science’ (Research Manager: Professor Song Jae-eun).
Professor Ahn Tae-young found new bacteria in Cheonho Lake and named it with a university name.
Ahn named the bacteria ‘Flavibaterium Dankookense’ and officially registered it with the international bacterial taxonomy committee.
Professor Ahn Tae-young (Department of Microbiology) found new bacteria that aren’t registered yet in academia.
The research team under the direction of Professor Ahn removed the new bacteria from Cheonho Lake near Dankook University and named it “Flavobacterium Dankookense.” Flavobacterim Dankookense is a microorganism widely existing in marine environments and polar zones.
Ahn published his findings in the Oct. 2012 issue of IJSEM (International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, international microorganism type taxonomy transactions), which is a world class microorganism life academic journal out of England. The prestigious IJSEM is the official journal of the International Bacteria Taxonomy Committee, which registers new bacteria discoveries.
“As it is a bacterium found for the first time in the world, various academic societies and researchers are asking for papers on our results,” said a representative of Ahn’s research team. The representative continued to say that the team will focus on securing the new strain and studying the verity of microbiology including additional research on the newly found bacterium.
On a side note, Professor Ahn has also found and announced various new bacteria like “Flavobacterium cheonanense”, “Flavobacterium chungnamense” and “Flavobacterium koreense”c in the past.
