Soojin Jo, a student in the Mechanical Engineering Doctoral Program was awarded the ‘IACM Fellowships for Early Career Female Researchers’ by IACM (International Association of Computational Mechanics) at WCCM (World Congress on Computational Mechanics). She was previously selected as a scholarship student of GPF (Global Postdoc Fellowship) in 2012, and has been working on the research ‘DNA Super Coil Mechanism based on Elastic Network Modeling’ for the past five years. At WCCM 2016, she published a dissertation on ‘Homologous Recombination in DNA Foldback Intercoil Structure’ and won an award.
Jang Kyun Lim, a student in the SAINT Doctoral Program also received a ‘Travel Award’ by dissertation for this work ‘Suggesting Optimum Design for Thermal Cutout Lamination’, which has been supported by BRL (Basic Research Laboratory) for the past five years. The ‘Travel Award’ is for outstanding students who are in the top 10% among 700 students who participated in WCCM congress. Some privileges such as exemption of WCCM registration fee will be given.
WCCM is the one of the world’s largest and powerful conferences for computational mechanics which IACM holds biannually. Theorists and commentators in various engineering fields participate.
WCCM 2016 was held at Coex, Seoul from July 24th to July 29th. This event was successfully secured by Young Jin Kim (deceased), Ex-vice president of Natural Science Campus of SKKU, and over 2,000 people from related areas attended.
