We took a walk at Donghaksa Temple under the beautiful sunshine!
We gave our lab tours for kids and people from outside of the campus in Open KAIST and for incoming undergraduate students in Hello KAIST.
201 people during Open KAIST and 11 students during Hello KAIST visited our lab
We invited participants to tour the KOCED Centrifuge Center prior to the KGS seminar. The tour was introduced by Dr. Choi, who presented an overview of our center. Following the tour, an Invited Seminar was held, featuring talks by Dr. Tessari (RPI), Dr. Han (KICT), and Dr. Ko (KAIST).
Dr. Ko became a committee member of the Dam Safety Subcommittee in KNCOLD
We ran the centrifuge with Jason DeJong, Mark Bancroft, and Dan Wilson. Had a lot of fun with Davis friends and researchers
Dicussion with Dr. Chen to explore collaborative research
We had our first group dinner!
With Prof. Jongchan Kim and Prof. Yeong-Man Kwon's research group
