Celebrating Innovation at the 2025 SUNY Korea Research Challenge The 2025 SUNY Korea Research Challenge once again showcased the energy, curiosity, and dedication of its students and faculty. This year’s event brought together a total of 59 teams, including 33 from Stony Brook University (SBU), 16 from the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), and, for the first time, 10 teams from GLOCAL, a new initiative designed to promote collaboration between students, faculty, and industry partners. The challenge continued its mission of nurturing innovative thinking while strengthening campus-wide research engagement. Following a careful and thorough review process, SUNY Korea announced the winners across its three major award categories: the President’s Award, the Provost’s Award, and the Department Chair’s Award. Four teams earned the highly regarded President’s Award, eight teams were honored with the Provost’s Award, and six teams received the Department Chair’s Award. This year’s President’s Award winners represented excellence across all divisions. In the SBU Undergraduate category, Junhyeong Park, Sungwook Choi, Sunghoon Jeong, and Joonhyeong Kim were recognized for their research titled “Bulletproof Shield for Urban Counterterrorism Operations with Automatic Movement and Intelligent Target Detection.” The SBU Graduate award went to Jaemin Cho and Oleksii Nasypanyi for their work on “Privacy Attacks on Scene Coordinate Regression for Camera Re-localization.” Representing FIT, Nelson Pang, Minyu Jin, and Seungyong Han received recognition for their project “Solving the Mycelium Scalability Problem: An Integrated Approach of AI, Vertical Farming, and Modular Design.” Finally, the GLOCAL division’s President’s Award was presented to the FUTURE SENSE team for their research, “Promoting the Establishment of a DPP (Digital Product Passport) System.” The challenge also featured a vibrant poster exhibition on November 18, 2024, held in the lobby of Building C. All 59 teams presented their work, spanning a wide spectrum of academic fields. The exhibition created a lively environment where students, faculty, and visitors could exchange ideas, ask questions, and engage in meaningful academic conversation. This year’s Challenge showed how research at SUNY Korea continues to evolve, supported by diverse teams and new partnerships. From first-time GLOCAL participants to long-established SBU and FIT groups, the event highlighted the value of bringing different perspectives together. The announcement of the winning teams closed the event on an inspiring note, reminding the community that innovation at SUNY Korea thrives when students and faculty grow and create together.

2024 SUNY Korea Research Challenge: Fostering Innovation and Entrepreneurship The 2024 SUNY Korea Research Challenge showcased the remarkable talents of 79 students from Stony Brook University (SBU) and the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT). The event aimed to cultivate creativity, independence, and innovative thinking in research and entrepreneurship. Moreover, participants worked collaboratively to develop ideas for patents and startups, as well as solutions for social causes, all tied to this year’s theme of R&D and entrepreneurship. A total of 36 teams competed, comprising 32 students from SBU and 47 students from FIT. These diverse teams united their efforts to create groundbreaking projects. The event was a recognition of SUNY Korea’s excellence in research and collaboration. SUNY Korea announced the winners of this year’s prestigious research awards following a rigorous evaluation process. A panel of judges from various academic departments assessed the projects based on two main criteria: research excellence and potential for industry-academia collaboration. Three teams emerged victorious, receiving accolades for their innovative contributions and practical applications in bridging academia and industry. Furthermore, the celebration of this cutting-edge research was done through various awards. Saebom Jin, a Ph.D. candidate from SBU’s Department of Technology and Society, was awarded the Presidential Award for Excellence in Research for her groundbreaking work titled "Leveraging Data-Driven Innovation and Digital Technologies for Sustainable Transformation in Urban Disaster Risk Management." Her research highlights how data-driven strategies can effectively mitigate urban disaster risks. Following this, the Vice-Presidential Award for Industrial Potential was awarded to Hansol Lim, Jee Won Lee, and Hanbeam Chang from SBU’s Mechanical Engineering Department. Their project, "EV-PINN: A Physics-Informed Neural Network for Predicting Electric Vehicle Dynamics," focuses on developing a real-time energy management system for electric vehicles. Subsequently, Roman Jano Rabo, a Master's Degree Program student from SBU’s Mechanical Engineering Department, received the Executive Director’s Award for Industrial Potential. His research, "Tidal Power for Low-Energetics Flows in ASEAN Region: A Case in Awasan Bay, Surigao del Norte, Philippines," explores innovative approaches to renewable energy. Additionally, the challenge also featured a poster exhibition held on December 2, 2024, in the lobby of Building C at SUNY Korea. The exhibition displayed research from 34 teams, encompassing a wide range of disciplines and encouraging intellectual exchange. After all is said and done, to strengthen the academia-industry connection, the annual Research Challenge exemplifies SUNY Korea’s commitment to fostering research excellence and transforming innovative ideas into practical applications. By bridging academia and industry, the event not only celebrates outstanding achievements but also addresses global challenges through collaboration and ingenuity.
