Jeonbuk National University (JBNU) Graduate School Division of Electronics and Information Engineering and the JIANT-IT Project Group have demonstrated the competitiveness of research-centered education by producing eight faculty members at domestic and overseas universities over the past five years.

They were subsequently appointed to leading overseas universities and national flagship universities in Korea based on achievements that include publishing multiple papers in top academic journals.

The graduates include △Choi Heung-jae (Cardiff University, United Kingdom · Supervisor: Jeong Yong-chae) △Que Yue (East China Jiaotong University, China · Supervisor: Lee Hyo-jong) △Kim Jun-beom (Gyeongsang National University, South Korea · Supervisor: Park Seok-hwan) △Pandeya Tagya Raj (Kathmandu University, Nepal · Supervisor: Jeong Gil-do) △Bui Tan Tan (Vietnam National University-HCMC, Vietnam · Supervisor: Lee Ji-hoon) △Yu Dae-seong (Jeju National University, South Korea · Supervisor: Park Seok-hwan) △Pech Phanam (National Polytechnic Institute of Cambodia, Cambodia · Supervisor: Jeong Yong-chae) △Mang Yao (Guilin University of Aerospace Technology, China · Supervisor: Park Dong-seon).

The JIANT-IT Project Group operates tailored programs—including long-term overseas study, dual-degree programs, industry capstone design, and collaborative research with regional research institutes—to strengthen the capabilities of graduate students and early-career researchers. The group aims to nurture "Giant Scholars" representing Jeollabuk-do.

Project Group Director Lee Ji-hoon said, "This achievement proves that the Division of Electronics and Information Engineering, built on outstanding education and research capabilities, serves as a proven cradle for cultivating top-tier talent. We expect JBNU-trained researchers to excel on the global stage and take on even greater challenges."
