2024 Ewha Science Festival Held
2024 Ewha Science Festival Held 2024 Ewha Science Festival Held The 2024 Ewha Science Festival was held on Monday, July 22 in the Lee Sam-bong Hall of the ECC building, providing unique hands-on scientific learning experiences for the public, including elementary, middle, and high school students. The Ewha Science Festival is a talent donation event in which science professors and students at Ewha participate under the motto of “bringing science to the public.” This year, 28 booths were established on various scientific topics, with the participation of six departments including Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Life Sciences, and Eco Science, centered around the high-tech laboratory of Chemistry and Nano Science at the College of Natural Sciences. Professors from the said departments designed science experiments for the event, while the participating students offered hands-on learning opportunities and engaging exhibits, thereby garnering a high positive response. Visitors to the festival enjoyed the rare opportunity to develop an interest in scientific fields and satisfy their curiosity through hands-on experiences, taking part in experiments with instructions and explanations from Ewha professors and students. Centered around the “Center for Future Sustainable Molecular Design Research” at the Department of Chemistry and Nano Science, which is one of the teams selected for the “Ewha Frontier 10-10 Project” in leading research fields, this festival was organized by the Research Institute for Basic Sciences and Autonomous Priority Research Institute, BK21 Future-oriented LIFE Talent Cultivation Team, alongside the Korea Foundation for Women In Science, Engineering and Technology (WISET), and sponsored by Ewha’s College of Natural Sciences and Office of Admissions.
Ewha Research Teams Pioneer Development of Advanced Original Technologies
Ewha Research Teams Pioneer Development of Advanced Original Technologies Ewha Research Teams Pioneer Development of Advanced Original Technologies Research teams from Ewha were selected for major projects initiated by the Korean government with the aim to support the development of advanced research and original technologies, thereby enabling universities to conduct global-level innovation research. The Fluorescence Core Imaging Center (Director Dongmin Kang) at the Department of Life Science was selected for the Research Infrastructure Advancement Project, under the Basic Science Research Capacity Enhancement Project organized by the Ministry of Education. Consequently, the Fluorescence Core Imaging Center will be installed and operated with cutting-edge research equipment and translational research on aging-related diseases will be conducted with project funding of approximately KRW 70 billion over the next five years. The research team from the Department of Life Sciences will set up advanced research equipment to systematically analyze diseases that occur during the aging process of small animals. They will also conduct translational research on aging-related diseases using an advanced in-vivo small animal molecular imaging system. Through advanced equipment such as the 7 Tesla MRI scanner and a micro-CT image analysis system, the team will obtain detailed multi-dimensional images of individual organisms, tissues, or cells using in vivo small animal molecular imaging technology. The Fluorescence Core Imaging Center was selected for the “Core-Facility Project” in 2019 and has been facilitating the co-utilization of research equipment and joint research with a focus on specialized research using optical molecular imaging technology. In 2022, the center was also selected for the “Bio Research Data Utilization Infrastructure Development Project” to operate the Bioimaging Data Curation Center, thereby taking the lead in securing national competitiveness in the science and technology sector. The joint research team led by Professor Taeyoung Choi from the Department of Physics was selected for the “2024 Leading Project for Quantum Technology Research and Development (Quantum Computing)” project. The Ewha research team will conduct joint research on the development of a 15-qubit ion trap-based universal quantum computing processor with high connectivity, in collaboration with research teams from Seoul National University, Kookmin University, and POSTECH. The team will focus on the development of a technology to perform high-reliability quantum superposition and entanglement based on the “ion qubit,” which demonstrates the highest performance among various quantum computing platforms. To this end, the team will receive a total of KRW 2.65 billion in research funding over four years until 2027. Professor Taeyoung Choi has demonstrated programmable quantum entanglement in five quantum information qubits for the first time in the world, a core achievement for the practical implementation of quantum computers. The team has conducted various research projects, having been consecutively selected for the “2019 Basic Research Laboratory Support Project” and the “2022 Follow-up Research Support Project for the Basic Research Laboratory,” as well as for the “2021 Quantum Computing Development Project” and the “2022 Quantum Technology Cooperation Project (Quantum Computing Field).”
