Prof. Hyun Myung Receives Academic Awards from Korea Robotics Society and ICROS
Professor Hyun Myung from the School of Electrical Engineering has received academic awards from two major domestic robotics societies, the Korea Robotics Society and the ICROS (Institute for Control, Robotics and Systems).
Professor Hyun Myung was awarded the academic award at the regular meeting of the Korea Robotics Society, held at the SC Convention in Seoul on December 1st.
The Korea Robotics Society’s academic award is the most prestigious award given by the society at the end of each year.
It is awarded to a researcher who has made outstanding contributions to the development of domestic and international robotics technology and related fields through innovative research achievements and publication activities.
Professor Hyun Myung’s research team has published over 100 SCI papers and presented more than 300 international conference papers in the field of autonomous robot navigation.
Additionally, they received recognition for their excellent achievements, including winning the Autonomous Quadruped Robot Competition at the 2023 IEEE ICRA (International Conference on Robotics and Automation) held in London, UK, and being double-crowned champion of the HILTI SLAM Challenge.
Furthermore, Professor Hyun Myung was honored with the IEEE Academic Activity Award at the regular meeting of the ICROS (Institute for Control, Robotics and Systems) held at the Venezia Hotel in Yeosu on October 19th.
The IEEE Academic Activity Award is one of six academic awards presented annually by ICROS and is awarded to researchers who have demonstrated outstanding IEEE-related academic activities.
Professor Hyun Myung received this award in recognition of his achievements this year, including winning the IEEE ICRA Autonomous Quadruped Robot Competition and achieving double championships in the HILTI SLAM Challenge.

Kim Minje, PhD Candidate in Professor Choi Junil’s Research Lab at the Department of EE, Awarded the 15th ICT Paper Competition Grand Exhibition
<Professor Choi Junil and Ph.D. candidate Kim Minje>
Professor Choi Junil’s research lab at the Department of EE congratulates doctoral candidate Kim Minje for receiving an excellence award at the 15th ICT Paper Competition Grand Exhibition, hosted by the Electronic Newspaper, Web Keshi Group, and the Software Credit Union.
Over the past five years, professor Choi Junil’s research team has been recognized with outstanding awards, including the highest honors and excellence awards, in the ICT Paper Competition Grand Exhibition.
The research by PhD candidate Kim Minje, titled “Meta-Heuristic Fronthaul Bit Allocation for Cell-free Massive MIMO Systems,” proposes an algorithm to efficiently solve the problem of distributing front-haul link capacity in Cell-free multi-antenna systems.
This research suggests a technology that can effectively reduce the computational workload of central processing units (CPUs), which rapidly increases with the growing number of terminals and access points (APs).

<Award Ceremony>
Ph.D candidate Han Seung-jae from professor Yoon Young-Gyu’s lab, received the Trainee Professional Development Award and the IBS/AKN Pre-doctoral Award at Neuroscience 2023.
Neuroscience 2023 is a conference organized by the Society for Neuroscience, held in Washington DC, USA, from November 11th to 15th, with approximately 30,000 official participants.
The Trainee Professional Development Award is given to students who have shown outstanding research achievements in the field of neuroscience. Recipients have the opportunity to present their research findings through a separate poster session and engage in networking with other students in the field.
Additionally, the recipients receive benefits such as a $2,500 scholarship, waived conference registration fees, and participation in workshops provided by institutions.
The 2023 AKN Outstanding Research Award is presented by the Association of Korean Neuroscientists based on comprehensive neuroscience research achievements.
The pre-doctoral award was given to a total of five doctoral candidates. A prize of $400 and a certificate are awarded to the recipients. Han Seung-jae received sponsorship from the Institute for Basic Science while writing his paper for the award.
At this conference, Han Seung-jae presented research that was selected as the cover article for the October 2023 issue of Nature Methods (Title: “Statistically unbiased prediction enables accurate denoising of voltage imaging data”).
This research proposes an effective method for removing noise from fluorescence microscopy images using machine learning and demonstrates its effectiveness in various experimental environments.
Professor Jaewoong Jung’s lab has been selected for 2023 National Research and Development TOP 100
[Professor Jaewoong Jeong, Ph.D candidate Choong-yeon Kim]
The wireless brain control system technology developed by Professor Jung Jae-woong’s laboratory at KAIST has been finally selected for the ‘2023 National Research and Development TOP 100’ by the Ministry of Science and ICT.
The National Research and Development TOP 100 is a policy that selects outstanding national research and development achievements across various ministries and agencies, marking its 18th year this year.
In the current year, a total of 854 candidate achievements recommended by each ministry underwent evaluation by a selection evaluation committee consisting of 100 experts from industry, academia, and research institutions. With this evaluation, the final 100 outstanding achievements are selected after public verification.
Particularly noteworthy is that Professor Jung Jae-woong’s research outcome was also chosen as one of the ‘Top 10 Achievements in Social Problem Solving’ through nationwide online voting.
As the world enters the era of aging, the number of patients suffering from brain diseases such as Parkinson’s is rapidly increasing.
However, the pace of progress in brain research to elucidate brain function and cure brain diseases has not kept up with the increasing rate of patients.
In response, Professor Jung Jae-woong’s research team combined wireless neural implant technology with IoT technology.
They successfully developed the world’s first IoT-based high-efficiency brain control system that can remotely select and control dozens to hundreds of brains with transplanted wireless neural implants simultaneously, anywhere in the world.
This technology not only supports fully automated, low-cost, high-efficiency brain research but also demonstrates the possibility of remote implementation for the efficient treatment of brain diseases such as Parkinson’s, dementia, and epilepsy.
Thus, it presents a new vision for brain research and the brain disease treatment.
Ph.D candidate Kim Chung-yeon, a KAIST undergraduate alumni, participated as co-first author in the introduced paper. It was published in the most prestigious international journal ‘Nature Biomedical Engineering’ on June 20, 2022 (Paper Title: Scalable and modular wireless-network infrastructure for large-scale behavioural neuroscience).
