World-OKTA Chairman Ki Chool Park participates in the last Ajou Brown Bag Meeting for 2015 as a guest2015-12-07The fourteenth Brown Bag Meeting of Ajou University was held at noon on December 7th in the Conference Room 1 in Yulgok Hall, with Chairman Ki Chool Park of the World-OKTA (Overseas Korean Traders Associations) in attendance. The Brown Bag Meeting began in March, and has been held every other week during the regular semesters this year, and Chairman Park was the first guest to be invited to the Meeting on that day, which is the last one for this year.Ajou's President Dong Yeon Kim and Chairman Park exchanged a variety of questions and answers with students for about an hour over sandwiches.Regarding Chairman Park, President Kim said, "He has keen interest in international experiences and challenges of young students and was happy to participate in Ajou's After You Program when he heard about its missions," adding, "I ask you to learn his aggressive attitude and confidence in taking on challenges."When asked about the reason for his success, Chairman Park said, "I was able to enter a large conglomerate though I was not from a major university. The reason why I was successful as an employee was that I had the endurance to accomplish a goal through the end when I had one," adding, "I had many challenges in business because I started it later than others. So, I try to give advice based on my experiences to young people like you as often as I can."Chairman Park promised that the World-OKTA will provide full support to the Overseas Company Internship Credits, a program proposed by the University as part of the Creative Activity Semester that will be introduced in the 2016 academic year. He also committed himself to participate as a guest in the Mentoring Program for Pleasant Innovation, which will also begin next year and arrange mentors to Ajou's students for counseling on issues regarding their lives, future careers, and other more personal ones.

The Second Ajou Hidden Champions are announced2015-12-04The Second Ajou Hidden Champions were announced at a presentation event on December 3rd in the Grand Auditorium of Ajou University's Yulgok Hall. A total of ten selected companies were introduced.“Hidden Champions” refers to strong and competitive companies that are smaller and less-known to the public than large conglomerates. For the purpose of finding Hidden Champions, the University launched a group of about fifty student evaluators in October. The students were divided into ten teams, with each team assigned to identify one candidate from among the companies with less than 1,000 employees and with revenue of ten to one hundred billion won or less. They then conducted assessments of the candidates during November in terms of their welfare benefits, technological capabilities, comparative status within their respective industries, etc.The ten selected companies are Young-Il Education System, Etners, Ehwa Diamond Industrial, Motrex, Neo Biotech, Satrec Initiative, Snoop By, Credu, Solid, and AirenSoft.During the presentations, individual teams explained their reasons for choosing the companies to the students who were in attendance, and seven evaluators assessed and gave awards to excellent presentations. The evaluators consisted of officials from outside companies in charge of human resources, and Director Jai Hyoung Cho and Operations Team Leader Young Hwan Bae from the Creative University Job Center. The evaluation criteria included Activities of Individual Teams, Documents Review, and Presentations, etc. The team that presented on Satrec Initiative won the Grand Prize. And the Top Prizes went to the teams that introduced Credu and Motrex, and the Excellence Awards were given to the teams that explained Solid and Ehwa Diamond Industrial, respectively.The selection of Hidden Champions is a program unique to Ajou that aims to encourage students to positively consider small but strong companies, instead of only preparing to enter large conglomerates. In addition to the selection, the University plans to operate a long-term program, i.e., holding job fairs that can introduce the companies to students and arrange internships at the companies to help them find jobs.

Ajou’s Professor Hyung Tak Seo succeeds in adjusting the electric conductivity of metal oxide semiconductors by generating hydrogen2015-12-04Ajou University’s team led by Professor Hyung Tak Seo (Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Department of Energy System Research of the Graduate School, pictured above) succeeded in developing a technology that can dramatically raise electric conductivity with hydrogen that is generated by photochemically decomposing moisture absorbed into the surface of metal oxide semiconductors with ultraviolet radiation.The research findings were published on October 27th in the online edition of The ACS Nano, a renowned academic journal in nano science. The research marks the world’s first reliable experimental confirmation of the possibility that hydrogen doping can adjust the electric conductivity of metal oxide semiconductors, which had previously only been speculated theoretically. Hence, the findings are expected to open up the possibility of developing highly efficient large-area semiconductors and transparent electrodes in the future. Metal oxide semiconductors are made from straightened thin metal oxides and used as the essential elements in displays or transparent electrodes for solar batteries because they are transparent and their conductivity is easy to adjust. However, it had been difficult to obtain the expected performance due to the decrease in electric conductivity that occurs when metal oxides are made larger. Another problem had been that the electrical features of metal oxides change when moisture in the air lands on them and is resolved into hydrogen atoms.The team of Professor Seo took note of the features of hydrogen atoms and designed ways to address the problems. The team exposed the surface of metal oxides – a mixture of Indium, Gallium, and Zinc Oxide – to high energy ultraviolet radiation to decompose the moisture into hydrogen. In doing so, they found that electrical conductivity increased in proportion to the length of time the surface was exposed to the ultraviolet radiation.“Doping,” a method in which electrical conductivity is improved by adding impurities to semiconductors, was available in the past, but hydrogen, which is light and dissipates easily, has never been used. Professor Seo’s team used high-quality electromicroscopes and spectroscopes and confirmed that, as water molecules attached to the oxides change into hydrogen molecules, they combine with existing atoms in the gaps between atoms or in the spaces left by outgoing oxygen atoms within a thin membrane, which increases electron density. Depending on the trial, electrical conductivity increased by one-thousand billion times or higher. Thus, hydrogen doping was experimentally verified for the first time in the world.In particular, electrical conductivity increased as much as 1011 times when hydrogen doping was conducted at room temperature after creating nano crystals on the interface of metal oxides and circuit boards by using alkali metallic impurities, compared to when no nano crystals were present. Professor Seo explained that the findings will allow for making highly reliable large-area oxide semiconductors and transparent electrodes necessary for the display industry, etc., through a simple process. Professor Seo added that the research will contribute to developing photochemical doping equipment that can be applied to transparent electrode technology by discovering the mechanism of hydrogen doping through the latest analytic techniques.Professor Seo went on to say, "The photochemical doping technology that was proposed in the research involves an easier process, is highly efficient in adjusting electrical conductivity, and dramatically increases the reliability of oxides. Thus, it will be able to be utilized extensively in developing next-generation transparent elements."The research was conducted in collaboration with the team of Professor Duck Kyun Choi from Hanyang University with the support of the Nano Material Technology Development Project and the General Researcher Support Project that are carried out by the Ministry of Science, ICT, and Future Planning and the National Research Foundation of Korea.< Diagram of the concept of the photochemical hydrogen doping mechanism >< A photo of hydrogen combined with nano crystals taken by a high-resolution transmission electromicroscope >
