The Korean Society of Transportation (KST) is a member organization of The Korean Federation of Science and Technology (KOFST) and plays a similar role to the Transportation Research Board (TRB) and the Transportation and Development Institute (T&DI) of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) in Korea. KST's mission is to represent the field of transportation in Korea, support the development of expertise in transportation, and provide a community for transportation planners and engineers.

The Park Chang-Ho Scholarship Award, funded by Prof. Chang-Ho Park—who is a first-generation transportation expert in Korea—is a merit-based scholarship and the most prestigious award for students majoring in transportation. KST selected only three recipientsannually —one undergraduate and two graduate students. I was selected as a recipient of the 13th Park Chang-Ho Scholarship Award, which was received to me by Prof. Jinhyuk Chung, the president of KST, in 2024.

I sincerely appreciated the recommendation written by my honorable advisor, Prof. Dong-Kyu Kim.
