School of Chemical Engineering Professor Han Sung-soo (51) was awarded the ‘Meditex Award’ in the 2015 academic conference co-hosted by the Korean Fiber Society and the Korean Society of Dyers and Finishers held at BEXCO in Busan on the 5th. He was awarded for his excellent achievements in research and contributions to the development of the fiber industry.
The ‘Meditex Award’ was created by the Korean Fiber Society (Chairman Jeon Han-yong) with funding by BSG (CEO Hong Hong-yoon), and it is in its fifth year this year. The award is given to members who made groundbreaking contributions to academic and technological development through creative R&D in medical applications and related textile engineering sectors.
Professor Han’s main scope of research is in the polymer material application and he published 27 SCI papers (correspondence author) in the past three years and he has also registered 24 patents in related fields as well. Furthermore, he also made technological transfers worth a total of over 200 million won with bio gel applied products, high-absorption organic gel application products (spray-type mask pack development), and hydro gel film technologies, and has been highly active in research in the medical materials field.
Professor Han earned his PhD at Seoul National University and began serving as a professor at the YU Department of Textil Engineering and Technology since 1995. In 2003, he worked as a visiting scholar at the North Carolina State University Department of Textiles in 2003 and at the Purdue University College of Pharmacy in 2010. Currently, he holds the post of director of the YU Organic Gel Cluster Project Team, director of the Textiles Fashion Materials Regional Cooperation Research Center, and vice-director of the IT/Energy/BT Industry Customized Creative Chemical Engineer Fostering team. Outside of the university, he is serving as the editing chairperson of the National Defense Technology Society, and is also working with the Korean Fiber Society, Polymer Society of Korea, and the Korean Society for Biomaterials. He will also be registered in the ‘2016 Marquis Who’s Who in the World’, which is one of the world’s three most authoritative biographical dictionaries.
