Together with Professor Ah Hyeon Koh from the State University of New York, 麻豆影音 Professor Dae Shik Kang (Department of Mechanical Engineering) succeeded in developing a sensor that analyzes sweat and reports health conditions when attached to the skin.The research was conducted by a joint team from Ajou, the State University of New York, and Northwestern University, and the findings were published in Science Translational Medicine, an international academic journal, under the title 鈥淎 Soft, Wearable Microfluidic Device for the Capture, Storage, and Colorimetric Sensing of Sweat.鈥漇weat contains various chemical substances that indicate the health condition of an individual. The density of glucose and chloride ions can help diagnose diabetes and cystic fibrosis, respectively. The degree of dehydration within the body can also be measured by sweat acidity (pH).The research team created several channels within a sensor that are just hundreds of micrometers (銕�, one millionth meter) long each and can collect sweat. It then inserted substances that change color with the density of glucose, chloride ions, and hydrogen ions, etc., within the channels.Professor Kang explained, "For example, the channel that measures pH is light orange when sweat is at pH 5.0 and it turns green when the pH becomes strong alkaline at pH 8.5."Being three centimeters in diameter, the circular sensor does not make one feel uncomfortable when attached to the body because it is 700銕� thick and weighs only about three grams. In addition, it can be stretched like flexible medicated patches on the skin.Measurement data can be transmitted to a smartphone through the Near Field Communication chip in the top part of the sensor and the application analyses the changing colors and shows users what they mean.One of the researchers said, "This sensor will help athletes or soldiers easily and accurately understand their health conditions during exercise and is expected to develop into a new system for preventing diseases."鈥�

Ajou's President takes the lead in student career guidance and asks for support from University officials [16.11.22]< President Dong Yeon Kim gives a lecture at an 'Ajou Hope' subject class designed to help freshmen recognize the importance of career planning. >< A scene from Career Mentoring with the President on November 22nd involving three student participants >麻豆影音 President Dong Yeon Kim continues to meet extensively with students to help them explore their careers. The meetings are part of efforts to promote the University's 'Cheer Up Change Up Project,' which is aimed at effectively supporting students in finding jobs and exploring careers.At 1:30 p.m. on November 22nd, President Kim gave a lecture in Woncheon Hall Auditorium at an 'Ajou Hope' subject class, which is part of the Early Awakening stage under the Project. It is designed to help students recognize the importance of career planning in their early days at the University and it was introduced earlier this year for freshmen in the Department of Chemical Engineering and the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. During the lecture, President Kim mentioned the 'Paradox of the Right Answer,' in which people consider all the choices other than the right answer to be wrong, and said, "I ask that you are not confined to the framework of the right answer, but think in a creative and critical manner with diverse possibilities in mind." In addition, he suggested that they have consideration for others based on the 'After You' mindset and do not hesitate to take on challenges in doing what they want to do.President Kim then participated in a mentoring session with students at the Creative University Job Center. Launched on November 7th, 'Career Mentoring with the President' is an opportunity for Ajou's students or graduates to discuss their career-related issues with the President. The Colleges take turns holding mentoring sessions. After the first session for the College of Social Sciences on November 7th, the second one on the 22nd was initially arranged for students in the College of Humanities. But, the three participants were from the Department of Industrial Engineering and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, who discussed finding jobs, entering graduate schools, and other career issues for about 90 minutes.President Kim said, "All Ajou people should be interested in providing tailored career-related support for individual students. In particular, it is important for the University head office and the departments to work closely together to achieve this," adding, "There needs be a perception that the University will share extensive responsibilities relating to students' career planning and their employment."

Ajou's students win the Grand Award at the University Student Presentation Contest hosted by the Korea Institute of Construction Engineering and Management (KICEM)[16.11.22]< The award winners pose for a picture. From the far right are Jae Hyeon Kim, Eui Jun Kim, Jin Woong Yang, Professor Hee Sung Cha, Yeon Ju Lee, and Su Yeon Lee.>麻豆影音 students from the Department of Architectural Engineering received the Grand Award (the Award of the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport) in the Competition Category at the University Student Presentation Contest. The event was hosted from November 11th to the 12th by the Korea Institute of Construction Engineering and Management (KICEM) and held at Inha University.The award-winning team consisted of leader Jae Hyeon Kim, Eui Jun Kim, Su Yeon Lee, Jin Woong Yang, and Yeon Ju Lee from the on-campus academic society FACE (Frontiers of Architectural Construction Engineers) under the Department of Architectural Engineering. The academic presentation competition had two categories, the Academic Paper Posters and the Competition. The Competition category included four sub-categories: Ideas, Cost Management, Process Management, and PBL. Ajou's students participated in the Ideas sub-category.The University team鈥檚 presentation was on applying 'noise cancellation' technology to construction sites and its technological methodology, which aims to reduce construction-site noise by using the destructive interference effect. This method can dramatically reduce construction-related noise by producing offsetting noise with the proper volume and characteristics based on analysis.Jae Hyeon Kim said, "Professor Hee Sung Cha encouraged us to participate in the contest when the members of our society were not sure." He went on to say, "I would like to thank the professors from the Department of Architectural Engineering for their full support," adding, "I am very happy that we have received the top award after so much hard work. It was possible because all of the team members fulfilled their missions. I am grateful for them."鈥�
