Suk Yeong Kim from Ajou's Department of Energy System Research wins the Excellent Paper Award from the Optical Society of Korea

[16.07.18]


Ajou University's Suk Yeong Kim (pictured above), a graduate student in the Department of Energy System Research, won the Excellent Paper Award from the Optical Society of Korea (OSK) during the Summer Meeting 2016. The event was held in BEXCO, Busan, for three days from July 11th to the 13th.


Under the sponsorship of the Korean Federation of Science and Technology Societies, OSK awards those who give excellent oral presentations during the meeting. The award-winning paper by Suk Yeong Kim, who is guided by Ajou University Professor Sung Hwan Kim, is entitled "Three-dimensional Photonic Crystal Based on Flexible Silk Protein."


In her study, Suk Yeong Kim built the three-dimensional crystal structure based on the fact that the flexibility of silk protein increases when it is hardened by ultra violet rays.


Kim explained, "I analyzed optical properties of the element by measuring reflectivity and confirmed that the band gap of photonic crystal moves with dynamic force," adding, "I expect that it can be used in bio sensors that are accumulated within the human body or in optical structures like eyeball inserts."
