Choe Received-ho, a professor within the KAIST Nuclear and Quantum Engineering Division, was chosen because the winner the 2025 Ok-T Rie Award, probably the most prestigious recognitions within the subject of utilized plasma science.
Choe received the respect introduced by the Asian-European Convention on Plasma Floor Engineering (AEPSE), a global convention the place the areas’ high specialists share their newest updates in plasma floor engineering, KAIST stated Friday.
The Ok-T Rie Award was established in 2015 to honor the achievements of professor Rie Kyong-tschong, a famend Korean scholar in plasma floor engineering who labored in Germany. The biennial award is introduced to a global researcher who has made excellent contributions to the development of utilized plasma science and engineering.
Choe is acknowledged internationally for his analysis on the bodily and chemical adjustments that happen on the plasma-liquid interface. He developed plasma imaging diagnostics, a way that allows real-time remark of plasma reactive species technology and power switch processes, which earned him excessive educational reward.
Primarily based on this analysis, Choe based Plasmapp, a Kosdaq-listed firm that has commercialized plasma sterilizers and bio-plasma merchandise.
He additionally expanded plasma functions into house exploration by establishing Cosmo Bee, a startup creating plasma-based Corridor thrusters. The corporate developed a dice satellite tv for pc outfitted with its plasma Corridor thruster and the satellite tv for pc was loaded on the Nuri rocket which succeeded in its fourth launch on Nov. 27.
He was the chief organizer for AEPSE 2023 because the chair of the Asian Joint Committee on Utilized Plasma Science and Expertise. He’s set to imagine the presidency of the Affiliation of Asia-Pacific Bodily Societies Division of Plasma Physics from 2026 to 2027.
“Profitable the Ok-T Rie Award is a superb honor, and it demonstrates the worldwide competitiveness of plasma analysis in Korea,” Choe stated. “The achievement was made attainable by KAIST’s analysis surroundings, and I’ll proceed working to advance plasma science and broaden its functions.”
