The True Calling of a Professor: Unlocking Hidden Potential
2025-06-09 Academic
Professor Bu Seog Ju has been named a 2024 Kyung Hee Fellow (Education) for his pioneering efforts to integrate digital technologies into core courses in Fundamentals of Mechanics and Steel Structure Engineering. He has also been instrumental in developing interdisciplinary programs—including contributions to the Global Engineering Convergence Major—as well as strengthening student advising and career support, and expanding international academic exchanges. At the core of Professor Ju’s philosophy is a belief in active thinking. His mission: to cultivate curiosity-driven learning and foster students’ capacity for independent exploration. From their first year, he works to shift students—accustomed to passive, test-driven education—toward a more self-directed, inquisitive approach. He encourages them to question deeply and think critically, building intellectual independence early on.More -
Opening Up the Possibility of Ginseng-derived Nanomaterials to Treat Infectious Diseases
2025-06-09 Research
A joint research team led by Professors Yeon-Ju Kim of the College of Life Sciences and Ik Hyun Cho of the College of Korean Medicine successfully demonstrated that ginseng-derived natural nanomaterials can suppress COVID-19 infection and alleviate lung inflammation. The research findings were published on January 15, 2025, in Journal of Nanobiotechnology (IF: 10.6) under the title, “Lipid-encapsulated gold nanoparticles: an advanced strategy for attenuating the inflammatory response in SARS-CoV-2 infection.” The research team developed an oral Korean ginseng nanoemulsion (KGS-NE), combining ginseng seed oil (GSO) and gold nanoparticles (GNP), and demonstrated both antiviral and immunoregulatory effects of KSG-NE. This breakthrough is garnering significant attention within the academic community as a promising example of integrating natural products with nanotechnology for the treatment of infectious diseases.More -

Each year, Kyung Hee selects faculty members who have demonstrated excellence in teaching and research as Kyung Hee Fellows. In 2024, the research fellows came from a wide range of disciplines, each recognized for innovative scholarly contributions. Among them is Professor Sangwon Park of the College of Hotel & Tourism Management, who was honored for his pioneering work in tourism big data and its real-world applications. We spoke with Professor Park to learn more about his research and vision for the future.More -
Innovation at the Intersection of Disciplines and Practice
2025-05-28 Research
We are living in an era of multidisciplinary convergence: one in which society’s most pressing challenges demand solutions that transcend the boundaries of any single academic field. In step with this transformation, Kyung Hee University is pioneering new directions in integrative research. A prime example is the Department of Biomedical Engineering, a discipline that bridges engineering and medicine. Hayeon Lee, a PhD student in the department, was recently named a recipient of the 2024 Talent Award of Korea in recognition of her exceptional research and contributions to the community. We spoke with her about her work and her vision for the futureMore -
Foundational Principle of Next-Generation Quantum Device Technology Identified for the First Time
2025-05-28 Research
The term phase denotes the essential characteristics of the shape of an object, abstracted from superficial variations in shape. For instance, eggs and soccer balls have different shapes, but they share the same phase as a round, smooth, and closed three-dimensional object without holes. A donut, on the other hand, has a hole in the center, making it an object with a different phase from eggs and soccer balls. The recognition that the concept of phase can also be applied to the electronic structure of matter gave rise to the new concept of topological matter. Along with Dirac semimetals, Weyl semimetals are one of the promising topological materials.More
