Welcoming Remarks from UKC 2021 Co-Chair
The theme for this year’s UKC is ‘Pursuing Global Health and Sustainability’. A global
public health catastrophe triggered by COVID-19 wreaked havoc upon societies and
economies across the world, coupled by other challenges such as climate change and
rapid digital transformation towards a contactless society. To make matters worse,
inequalities driven by disparities in vaccine distribution and digital divide are becoming
the building blocks of various structural instability in our society.
As such, the international community is gearing up for a paradigm shift to take
preemptive action, after recognizing the importance of global healthcare system and

Welcoming Remarks from Consulate General Plenary Speakers

Dear UKC 2021 participants,
I am very pleased to welcome each of you to the 34th US-Korea Conference 2021
on Science, Technology, and Entrepreneurship (UKC 2021). I'd like to extend my
wholehearted thanks to the Korean-American Scientists and Engineers Association
(KSEA), the Korean Federation of Science and Technology Societies (KOFST), and the
Korea-US Science Cooperation Center (KUSCO), for their continuous dedication as co-
organizers of the UKC.
Established in 1971, the KSEA has grown to over 6,000 registered members. The KSEA
has promoted the application of science and technology for the general welfare of
society and contributed to Korea's development through the transfer of advanced
science and technologies. Although Korea has limited resources, it has achieved

At the COP26 U.N. climate conference last month, Korea declared to cut the nation's
greenhouse gas emissions by 40% from 2018 levels by 2030 and to aim carbon
neutral by 2050. It seems to be not an easy task, but now is the time to act. Korea
already has excellent low-carbon technologies such as batteries, hydrogen, and solar
power. The Korean Consulate General in L.A. is planning to hold a Korea-US Science
and Technology Symposium every year, and this year's topic is Renewable Energy and
Urban Air Mobility.
Although complex challenges lie ahead of us, Korea and the U.S. will open a new era by
actively cooperating on global issues. I hope that the UKC 2021 will serve as one of the
opportunities to lead us towards prosperity, safety, and a brighter future.

KSEA announced two winners for the 2021 KSEA Young Investigator
Grants. Winners will be awarded $10,000 in research grants
and a certificate. Evaluation and selection was conducted by
the KSEA Honors and Awards Committee and Technical Group
Councilors based on review of the submitted application form,
technology development plan, reference letters, and resume.
After a strict evaluation process by the Honors and Awards Committee,
Dr. Haegyeom Kim (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory) and Dr.
Sangsik Kim (Texas Tech University) were selected as the finalists.

With the KSEA Young Investigator Grant, Dr. Kim will conduct research on a
cathode material, KVPO4F, for potassium ion batteries. Despite the high energy
density, this cathode material suffers from poor cycling stability. Dr. Kim will
tackle this problem by cation/anion substitution to disturb the strong K/vacancy
ordering. Dr. Kim identified potential dopants for the cation sublattice
and anion sublattice. With a clear goal and strategy, Dr. Kim is expected
to make great progress towards highly efficient potassium ion batteries.

"KEIT focuses on being a facilitator, leads frontier
technology and makes the world better with the
development of technology"
Dr. Sangsik Kim Dr. Sangsik Kim is an Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer
Engineering at Texas Tech University. He received his B.S. in Electrical and
Texas Tech University
Computer Engineering from Seoul National University in 2008 and continued
his education at Purdue University, where he earned his M.S. and Ph.D.
in Electrical and Computer Engineering in 2014 and 2015, respectively.
Dr. Kim’s research focuses on the development of integrated nanophotonic
devices and their applications, seeking to bridge the gap between new
science and future technologies. Dr. Kim is a recipient of the Whitacre
Engineering Research Award in 2020, and his research is sponsored by the
National Science Foundation and the United States Department of Energy.
He served on various grant review panels and journal referees. Professor
Kim has published 17 journal publications alongside 25 conference publications; these
publications have received 595 citations along with a Google scholar h-index of 13.
With the KSEA Young Investigator Grant, Dr. Kim will investigate “photonic
in-plane metalens for hybrid photonic integrated circuits.” The goal of
his research is to miniaturize tabletop optical systems with the use of
integrated photonic chips to make them portable, which would allow
for these systems to be accessible and usable outside of a laboratory.
