Acknowledgement
According to the data for Feb. 2024, I have achieved a Google Scholar citation of 300+ with an H-index of 10. I couldn't have achieved this without the outstanding support and the exceptional assistance of many professors, post-docs, graduate students, and lots of engineers who have continued to influence my perspective on scientific matters. Successful scientific endeavors truly hinge on collaboration with compassionate individuals. I feel honored and grateful for all my collaborators (professors, post-docs, graduate students from Seoul National University (SNU), Ajou University, Sogang University, and Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)).
I deeply appreciated the times and efforts that you (who are reading this now) have generously shared for me. I wish you all the best for your future and your family.
Once again, thank you so much for your cooperation and consideration.
Best regards,
- Y. S. Song -
