Siti Fatimah (28, Integrated master’s and PhD course term 6) from Indonesia who is currently studying at the YU Graduate School of Materials Science and Engineering was awarded 2nd place in poster presentation at the annual meeting of the ‘2018 APSMR (Asia Pacific Society for Materials Research)’, which is an international academic conference in the materials sector.
APSMR international academic conference is an Asia Pacific society joined by over 200 researchers from universities and research institutes of countries such as Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan, etc.
Ms. Fatimah is a graduate school student at the YU School of Materials Science and Engineering Professor Koh Young-gun’s research lab. Professor Koh’s research lab swept first to third places in the poster presentation sector at this academic conference last year, thus being recognized globally for its research capacities. At this year’s conference held in Hokkaido, Japan from July 19 to 21, Siti Fatima took second place in the poster presentation sector, thus having YU be awarded for the second straight year.
Fatimah made a presentation on the latest research results on ‘high performance surface treating technologies applying plasma electrolytic oxidation technologies’ to capture the attention of academics. For the past two years, Fatimah has been active in research and published the basic and application research results on ‘plasma electrolytic oxidation technologies’ in prominent international journals in the materials engineering sector such as the ‘Journal of Alloys and Compounds’, ‘Applied Surface Science’ and ‘RSC Advances’.
Her advisor, Professor Koh Young-gun said, “The research results that were awarded will contribute in the innovation of eco-friendly biomaterial surface treating technologies that have recently drawn a lot of attention.”
Meanwhile, this research was conducted as part of the ‘science technician exchange promotion support project’ funded by the Ministry of Education.
