Ewha Leads Innovative Convergence Research Through Global Collaboration
Ewha Leads Innovative Convergence Research Through Global Collaboration Seven research teams from Ewha Womans University have been selected for the Mid-Career Researcher Support Program (Type 1 – Global Cooperation), funded by the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF). The NRF operates diverse research support programs to strengthen creative and pioneering basic research and foster excellent researchers, thereby enhancing Korea’s future capabilities in science and technology. Ewha researchers across various fields, such as social sciences, natural sciences, and nursing, were selected for this program aimed at supporting leading convergence research in collaboration with global universities and research institutions, once again reaffirming Ewha’s excellent research capacity. Professor Soontae An from the Division of Communication & Media is collaborating with the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow in the United Kingdom, Queensland University of Technology in Australia, and the International University of Japan to develop a positive self-talk-based digital mood management solution. The project aims to create a preventive mental health care solution in daily life using AI chatbots and conversational mood assistants. Professor Hye Eun Lee from the Division of Communication & Media is working with the Media Neuroscience Lab at the University of California, Santa Barbara in the United States to analyze the mechanisms of mobile game addiction and to develop an addiction predictive model based on brain imaging and deep learning data. Professor Won Joonyeong from the Department of Mathematics is conducting a convergence study in algebraic geometry and number theory, in collaboration with Saitama University and Kyushu University in Japan, as well as the University of Edinburgh in the UK, aiming to verify the K-stability of Fano hypersurfaces and weighted hypersurfaces. Professor Hyun-seok Kim from the Department of Life Sciences (Graduate School) is partnering with Ghent University in Belgium to study the potential for controlling macrophage inflammatory diseases through the regulatory mechanism of protein N-terminal acetylation. Professor Roh Tae-Young from the Department of Life Sciences (Graduate School) is collaborating with Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands to identify epigenetic chromatin modulators through multi-omics analysis using breast cancer cells, contributing to the development of personalized precision medicine technologies. Professor Eunsoo Kim from the Division of EcoScience (Graduate School) is conducting research on the genomic and ecological characteristics of endogenous viral elements in protists in collaboration with the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences in the U.S., the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Germany, and Kyoto University in Japan. Professor Dukyoo Jung from the Division of Nursing is working with Duke University and Johns Hopkins University in the U.S. to analyze the correlation between age-related hearing loss and cognitive decline, and to develop nursing intervention programs for hearing loss and dementia prevention. Under its vision of “Ewha leading the era of great transformation through inclusive innovation,” Ewha is making efforts to strengthen its global research competitiveness and establish a world-class environment for education and research. In addition to this program, the university will continue expanding its global network with universities and research institutions worldwide across various fields, reinforcing its role as a research-driven institution.
6th Industry-Academia Forum by the AI Convergence Innovation Human Resources Development Center Held
6th Industry-Academia Forum by the AI Convergence Innovation Human Resources Development Center Held The 6th Industry-Academia Collaboration Forum by the AI Convergence Innovation Human Resources Development Center was held at the Lee Sam-bong Hall of the ECC building on Tuesday, April 1, 2025, with the aim of fostering talented future leaders in the AI field. Under the theme of “Ewha Womans University, a Leading University Fostering Future AI Talent,” the forum was a great success, drawing over 200 participants from related companies, including Kakaopay Securities and Fasoo, as well as academia. The first part of the forum began with an opening declaration by Professor HyungJune Lee, Director of the AI Convergence Innovation Human Resources Development Project Team, followed by congratulatory addresses by Ewha President Hyang-Sook Lee and Professor Min Soo Lee, Dean of the College of Artificial Intelligence. Lectures were subsequently delivered by Shin Ho-cheol, CEO of Kakaopay Securities, and by Yoon Kyung Koo, Executive Director of the AI security company Fasoo, under the titles of “Future AI Finance” and “Future AI Security,” respectively. Students participating in the forum responded that the lectures were beneficial, as the examples and experiences shared by leaders of financial and security companies improved their understanding of the AI industry in general. The second part was composed of an award ceremony and presentations of outstanding AI Convergence Creative Projects by master’s and doctoral students in the AI Convergence major at the graduate school, followed by an event titled Round Table Meeting with Industry Partners, featuring companies collaborating with the AI Convergence Innovation Human Resources Development Project Team. Ewha established an undergraduate program for the Artificial Intelligence major in 2022 and the College of Artificial Intelligence in 2023, pioneering education and research in the cutting-edge academic field of AI. Supported through the 2022 AI Convergence Innovation Human Resources Development Project by the Ministry of Science and ICT, Ewha also established a graduate program in AI Convergence in September 2022 and launched the AI Convergence Innovation Human Resources Development Project Team to promote “active industry-academia collaboration through demand- and industry-driven research and education.” Such efforts are contributing to Ewha’s cultivation of professional and creative individuals with practical AI skills who can resolve salient issues in the industry through convergence with diverse fields. Under the vision of “Ewha leading the era of great transformation through inclusive innovation,” Ewha plans to take the lead in nurturing innovative talent by providing student-centered AI education and building diverse collaboration networks across local governments, industries, academia, and research institutions.
