Ph.D. student Junhyeong Park, advised by Seong-Ook Park, won the Best Student Paper Award in 2019 International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation (ISAP 2019) which was held from Oct 27th to 30th.
ISAP is held regularly from 1971, is intended to provide an international forum for the exchange of information on the progress of research and development in antennas, propagation, electromagnetic wave theory, and related fields as shown in the Topics. It is also an important objective of this meeting to promote mutual-interaction among participants.
In this 24th opening, ISAP 2019 was co-sponsored and co-organized by five institutes including Xidian University. Also, other prominent institutes such as IEEE and IEICE co-sponsored ISAP 2019.
In the paper “Micro-Drone Detection with FMCW Radar Based on Stationary Point Concentration Technique”, proposed Stationary Point Concentration (SPC) technique for an FMCW radar achieved the outstanding performance of detecting micro-drone with the size of a little finger.
The proposed SPC technique attenuates the phase noise of the leakage, and this leads to the reduction of the noise floor in the power spectrum. Therefore, the micro-drone at 100 m height, which was buried in the noise floor without this technique, was detected successfully.
Congratulations on the award, and we expect your future academic achievement.
KAIST was selected for the 2019 Future Defense Artificial Intelligence Research Center.

M.S. student Sung-hyun Kim (advised by Chan-hyun Yoon) won the Excellent Paper Award with paper “An Accelerated Edge Computing with a Container and Its Orchestrator”(Author: SungHyun Kim, Eunju Yang, and Chan-Hyun Youn) at the International Conference on ICT Convergence 2019 (ICTC 2019) held October 16-18, 2019.
ICTC, that was co-sponsored by IEEE and IEICE, is an international conference organized by the Korean Institute of Communication and Information Sciences. The conference addresses the convergence of information and communication technologies over the various industrial fields.
ICTC, organized by the Korean Institute of Communication and Information Sciences, is the international conference for the purpose of the application of information and communication technology to the industry. Moreover, ICTC 2019 was co-sponsored by IEEE and IEICE.
The paper proposed a framework to enable hardware accelerators for container-based edge computing environments. With the proposed framework from the paper, lighter weight of containers with accelerators as well as a reduction in service scheduling time through container orchestration with the accelerators were achieved.
Congratulations on the outstanding performance of the research, and we also expect future academic outcomes.

Ph.D student Woo Chan Lee(Advisor:Seung Hyup Yoo) won the Best Student Paper Award 1st Prize at the OSA Advanced Photonics Congress 2019 in San Francisco, USA.
The OSA Advanced Photonics Congress is the conference which is organized by OSA to present various researches on photonic devices.
In this research, they fabricated an OLED that emits near-infrared light using a down-conversion method. Near-infrared OLED has been very difficult to achieve high efficiency and stability, mainly due to material limitations. In this research, they used a method that combines a phosphor that converts orange light into near infrared and an orange OLED that has a high efficiency and stability by using a down-conversion. Through optical analysis and optimization at the down-conversion process, they finally implemented a near-infrared OLED with a near-infrared external quantum efficiency of about 14%.
The developed light source is expected to be used for wearable healthcare, because it has the advantages of OLED flexibility and near-infrared rays with various applications.
Congratulations!
