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.

[Student Reporter] SUNY Korea Students Share Internship Experiences in Various Fields, Leading New Challenges and Growth A Spring 2024 Internship Panel event was held in SUNY Korea building C103. Jiyoon Kim (FBM) from FIT, and Suyeong Park (AMS), Sangbin Park (BM), and Hajung Seo (TSM) from Stony Brook, participated in the panel to share their internship experiences with their colleagues. Their stories, which shared their internship experiences in various fields based on their respective majors, provided a lot of interesting information for the students. First, Jiyoon Kim of FBM shared her internship experience at three fashion and marketing companies: EUNE, ZARA, and BY Sophie. She emphasized that she received support from the school when applying for these internships, and that the help from the Career Development Center was especially useful. She also advised her juniors to read emails from the Career Development Center carefully, and said that it would be helpful to thoroughly analyze each company's official website when writing their resumes. AMS major Suyeong Park introduced his experiences as a deep learning engineer at SPOIT. He shared his experiences in both academic settings and internships, and imparted specific advice to his juniors. Business major Sangbin Park shared his experiences as a marketing assistant for a home appliance company called Tefal. It was impressive to see him motivate his colleagues through his experiences. Finally, Hajung Seo of the TS department introduced her experiences as an administrative assistant at GSC, and conveyed tips on writing a resume as well as secrets to passing the internship. After sharing their useful experiences, there was time for students to ask questions and receive answers directly from the panel members. Internship panel events have become more frequent thanks to the panels that answer the questions of juniors with honest and concrete answers. Panel members also shared their difficulties, successes, and useful experiences from their internships. They talked candidly about the things they considered while choosing an internship and the differences between their respective experiences. A large number of students attended the event, at which simple snacks were provided. The event delivered valuable information to the students while also giving them a chance to reflect on their experiences and think about re-organizing their academic lives. In addition, it was effective in promoting communication and bonding among students. An official of the student council said, "Through this internship review sharing event, we were able to receive helpful information, and it played a big role in network formation and motivation among students," adding, "We hope that such useful events will continue to be held in the future." This event provided valuable information to college students preparing for employment after graduation, and provided a place for communication to grow together by helping students who will have experience through internships. We hope that such useful events will continue to take place in the future. For the future, we hope for successful internships for all students and look forward to hearing about their positive experiences. Written by Student Reporter, Suhyun Kim (suhyun.kim@stonybrook.edu)
