Professor Kim Sang-woo of the Department of New Material Engineering was selected as the April winner of the 'Scientific Person of the Month'.
The Ministry of Science and ICT and the Korea Research Foundation announced on the 1st that they selected Professor Kim Sang-woo of Sungkyunkwan University's Department of New Material Engineering as the winner of this month's Science and Technology Personnel Award in April.
Kim developed a remote energy charging technology in the body that drives medical devices by generating friction electricity on power plants inserted into the human body using ultrasound used safely at medical sites.
For the study, Kim used "energy Harvesting Technology" to collect energy thrown away from everyday life, such as vibrations, loads, light and heat, and turn it into electricity.
The technology is expected to present a new milestone in the human-inserted medical industry as it can be applied to various medical technologies, Kim said.
The Ministry of Science and ICT selects one R&D person every month for contributing to the development of science and technology with excellent R&D achievements and awards the Minister of Science and ICT Award and 10 million won in prize money.
