Energy and Environmental Awards
Ecopro held the 3rd “Ecopro Young Scientist Award” at its headquarters in Cheongju on the 11th and introduced that Park Joon-woo, a professor {of electrical} and useful engineering at UST (University of Science and Technology), and Kim Dae-woo, a professor of chemical and organic engineering at Yonsei University, had been chosen as winners in the vitality and environmental fields, respectively. The winner was awarded a plaque and a prize of 20 million gained, respectively.
The Ecopro Young Scientist Award” began with the will of Ecopro founder Lee Dong-chae to discover and support young professors who have achieved outstanding research results in two fields, energy and environment.” A complete of 26 scientists utilized for this 12 months’s Young Scientist Award, and Ecopro chosen the winners by comprehensively inspecting papers, tutorial awards, variety of patent registrations, and know-how switch particulars.
Professor Park Joon-woo, the winner of the vitality discipline, was acknowledged for his experience in all-solid-state batteries and lithium-sulfur batteries. Professor Park proved the risk of stabilizing the interface of all-solid-state batteries by way of self-liquefaction coating and commercializing light-weight high-performance lithium-sulfur batteries by way of his thesis. Professor Kim Dae-woo, an environmental winner, was acknowledged for his tutorial achievements and industrial ripple results in the discipline of separators and nanomaterials based mostly on graphene supplies. The half that had a constructive impact on the improvement of associated industries by combining sensible use by way of know-how switch and start-up additionally led to the award.
“In order to win the fierce competition with China, industry and academia must join forces to develop technologies that no one can match,” mentioned Lee Dong-chae, founding father of Ecopro. “Ecopro will actively outsource technologies that are superior to ours.”
