As part of SEAS’ continuing collaboration with Korea University (KU), eight SEAS faculty members visited Korea University last week to review progress on several research collaboration projects and to discuss the status of the successful student exchange program between GW and KU. The SEAS team was led by Associate Dean Can Korman and included Profs. Samer Hamdar (CEE), Saniya LeBlanc (MAE), Zhenyu Li (BME), Murray Loew (BME), Claire Monteleoni (CS), Ergun Simsek (ECE), and Volker Sorger (ECE). The results of the research collaboration were presented jointly by SEAS and KU faculty at the 3rd KU-GW Research Symposium. The current joint research topics include traffic management, nanotechnology, big data, and biomedical devices.
The event was hosted by Dean Jin Taek Chung of the KU College of Engineering and SEAS/KU alumnus Dr. Simon Lee. The research collaboration and the student exchange program are sponsored by the generous donations of Dr. Simon Lee to both GW and to KU. Faculty and students plan to visit KU during the next year to continue their joint research projects, and plans are to hold another KU-GW Research Symposium next fall at GW.
