He has an extensive research and development experience with interest in millimeter wave circuits, phased array circuit and systems, automotive radar, ultra-high speed connectivity and mobile communications such as WiGiG and 5G, and 802.11ah for a long range IoT solution. He is one of the first researchers to design and development of CMOS phase shifter and multi-channel array chip in the field of radar and communication systems. He developed 10-15, 30-35 and 40-50 GHz 4- and 8- element phased arrays on a single silicon chip. He was with Samsung Electronics as a Senior engineer participating in the development of the 60GHz phased array transceiver for the WiHD/WiGiG standard. He has been done with an extensive research project for a sub-GHz CMOS transceiver for 802.11ah/af-based IoT, 77 GHz automotive radar chip, a high-power terahertz CMOS source, and sub-terahertz pulse radar/imaging system. His research interests include RF/millimeter-wave/Terahertz integrated circuits using CMOS/SiGe technology, antenna, antenna-in/on-package (AiP/AoP), and systems design for wireless communication and radar/sensor applications.
Detection of hydrocarbon pollutant by the microbial enzyme DmpR and its structural activation mechanism
PROF. WOO, Euijeon
Kribb
He studied at the Seoul National University (Bsc, Msc) and the Univ of Reading (PhD) with a major in Structural biology. After postdoc at the Institute of Cancer Research UK, he joined the Disease Target Structure Research Center, KRIBB. His main research interests are structure function relationship, functional modulation of various DNA binding proteins, including Crispr/Cas system and structure based protein design and biosensor development for biomedical application. He has received awards including the Best Publication Award of KRIBB (2015) and the Chairman's award of National Research Council of Science and Technology, Korea (2020). Currently he is serving as the NCP (National Contact Point) of Korea for the Horizon Europe (Health).
Molecular Diagnostics for Precision Medicine: The national Network Genomic Medicine (nNGM)
PROF. BUETTNER, Reinhard
Institute Of Pathology And Center For Integrated Oncology, University Hospital Cologne, Germany
Professor Dr. Reinhard Büttner (born January 15, 1960 in Fulda) is a German pathologist and university lecturer. Since 2011 he has held the chair for pathology at the University of Cologne. From 1979 to 1985 Dr. Büttner studied human medicine, ethnology and African studies in Mainz as well as human medicine in Munich, Cologne and at the Middlesex Hospital Medical School in London. In 1985 he received his doctorate in medicine from the LMU Munich for his work on investigations into the electrophoretic differentiation of the genome of human rotaviruses. In the same year he passed the United States Medical Licensing Examination. After several years as a research assistant and assistant, e.g. He habilitated in 1995 in experimental pathology at the Institute for Pathology at RWTH Aachen University, at the Department of Tumor Biology at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston and at the Institute for Pathology at the University of Regensburg. A year later he also received his recognition as a specialist in pathology. In 1999, the RWTH Aachen appointed him to the chair of pathology and cytology, and in 2001 he moved to the chair of pathology at the University of Bonn, where he held the position of dean of the medical faculty from 2005 to 2008. Since 2011 he has held the chair for pathology at the University of Cologne. Dr. Büttner is a co-founder of the German Register for Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors. His work focuses on the generation of animal models for human diseases and research into the mechanisms of gene regulation in malignant tumors, in particular for the diagnosis and therapy prediction of sarcomas.

Environmental Improvements Towards Shipping Greener and Safer
DR. KIM, Keunjae
Sspa, Research Institute Of Sweden Rise
I have Received M. Sc. Degree in Mechanical Engineering at KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) in Korea in 1981 and Ph. D. degree in Mechanical Science at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden in 1989. After graduation, I have participated in the development of the CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) code SHIPFLOW at FLOWTECH International AB from 1989 to 1991. I have been responsible position as the CEO for marketing and technical development of SHIPFLOW at FLOWTECH International AB during 2002-2009 and presently am member of Board of Director for FLOWTECH International AB since 2009. Besides having an academic background, I have a lot of practical experience from working more than 20 years in ship design at Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co., Ltd. (DSME) in Korea. I have worked mainly with development of hull form and propeller design for various types of commercial ships, and have been responsible for leading and coordinating commercial and research projects in the area of hydrodynamics as head of the Hydrodynamics R&D Institute at DSME. I have joined SSPA Sweden AB in 2002 and presently working with several research projects as senior scientist at SSPA Research. Together with 2 other partners from DSME I have a patent on energy saving devices (PSS – Pre Swirl Stator), which have been successfully applied to various ship types, with an average reduction of 4~6 percent in propulsion power. I am the first author of well over 50 scientific papers in journals, transactions, conference proceedings and SSPA internal reports.
