Jeonbuk National University (JBNU) Professor Chang-Kyu Jeong (Division of Advanced Materials Engineering, Electronic Materials Engineering Major) announced that he received awards from the Korean Society of Electrical and Electronic Materials and the 8th ICAE (International Conference of Advanced Electromaterials).

Professor Jeong has conducted interdisciplinary research on functional electrical and electronic materials—covering ceramics and polymers—focused on ferroelectric and piezoelectric materials used in various sensors and capacitors. Based on this research, he has published actively in leading international journals and continues to expand collaborative research with overseas researchers.

In particular, his recognition as a SCOPUS Top 2% researcher in nanotechnology and nanoscience for five consecutive years led to his receiving the 2025 Paper Award from the Korean Society of Electrical and Electronic Materials. The award ceremony took place at the society's general meeting held last November at the Jeju International Convention Center.

Professor Jeong also received the Best Contributor Award at the concurrently held 8th ICAE International Conference. At the conference, he submitted and registered 13 research abstracts, making him the researcher who contributed most to academic exchange.

ICAE, established by the Korean Society of Electrical and Electronic Materials in 2011, is an international specialized conference held every two years. This year, approximately 1,700 researchers participated to share the latest research achievements.

Professor Jeong's research has been carried out with support from various national, regional, and industry–university collaboration projects, including the National Research Foundation national agenda project, the JBNU RISE Project, the JBNU‑KIST industry–university–research convergence platform, the BK21 Project, and the Innovation Convergence University project in the new energy industry sector.

Professor Chang-Kyu Jeong said, 'I expect this award will enhance JBNU's research competitiveness and contribute to expanding international networks in the field of electrical and electronic materials.'
