SUNY Korea Students Wins an Award in SBU Hacks 2022 Kyungbae Min (double major in AMS and CS), Dukyoung Eom (CS), Hyerin Choi (double major in AMS and CS), and Sije Park (CS) were awarded the ‘Cleanest UI/UX’ in the SBU Hacks 2022, a hackathon competition. Here is an interview with one of the team members. Hello, I am Kyungbae Min. I’m a senior and majoring in AMS, also studying CS as a minor. I’m currently working as a front-end developer. 1. Why did you choose to study at SUNY Korea? The biggest advantage I thought was that I can experience an international environment and curriculum in Korea. For me, burdened with the desire to study abroad, I expected that high-quality lectures provided in English and the school's compulsory policy of sending students to the US in their senior year would provide me with a broader perspective, and I am currently experiencing that. 2. Briefly explain the competition you participated in, and what prize you were awarded. ‘2022 SBU Hacks’ is a 48-hour hackathon held by SBU, MLH (Major League Hacking), and a lot of sponsors. It is a competition in which participants form a team of up to four people to independently create projects using any technology in the form of software or hardware for 48 hours. About 300 participants from all over the country, from undergraduates to graduate students, gathered to devise novel business models and projects using technology, and on the last day, they were evaluated by judges in each field through demos. Our team created ‘Plog-In’, a web app targeting mobile platforms under the topic of Plogging, and won the ‘Cleanest UI/UX’ category among about 60 projects.

Research paper by DTS students published in an academic journal A research paper written by DTS undergraduate students, Tae-Yun Kim, Soo-min Kim, Tae-woong Yoon, and Do-hyun Oh under Professor Neal Dreamson’s supervision, has been published in an academic journal, Korean Journal of Converging Humanities (Volume 9, Issue 2, page 1-22). Korean Journal of Converging Humanities is a journal registered on KCI (Korea Citation Index), published on a quarterly basis. The paper was an outcome from their study in a course, EST 441 Interdisciplinary Senior Project, Fall 2020. In the paper, the team critically reviews the concepts of smart cities and human smart cities using three well-known smart cities’ plans including Barcelona, Dubai, and Singapore. The team discovers that the plans contain anti-humanism and anti-non-humanism (or anthropocentrism). The team argues for three posthumanist dimensions: non-dualism, more-than-humans, and ecological community to make smart cities free from anthropocentrism. The team develops a conceptual framework for post-humanist smart cities to ensure that the next generation of smart cities becomes inclusive of all humans, non-humans, and more-than-humans. Below are the testimonial statements of the students. Tae Yun: The production of this research paper enables me to have a new perspective on technology that coexists with the present society we live in. Defining the right use of a city and technology from a different (and whole new) perspective was the biggest challenge but, at the same time, was the biggest harvest of learning. Soomin: I had been interested in policies regarding Smart Cities, and this opportunity helped me open up new perspectives towards the topic. I'm happy to see our paper got published in the academic journal as an extension of the college course. I was thankful to work with a great team and learn deeply about the research process. Taewoong: I have learned a lot academically in the process of writing this research paper, and I deeply felt that there were things I needed to study more after all. I sincerely thank Professor Neal Dreamson. Prof. Dreamson has given us a lot of feedback. I also appreciate our team members, who have always commented on revising and supplementing with meticulousness. Dohyun: What I gained from this paper is that I learned the proper way of critical review. A critical review is not just criticizing a topic but continuously questioning and evaluating a topic.

CS students won an award in a contest for developing an AI model A team of CS Students came in third place in the AI Contest hosted by Korea Innovation Foundation and KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute). The team, ‘Tacomaster,’ consisted of four students: Junghun Park, Youngho Kim, Hamin Lim and Dajung Choi. The contest, held from last December to February, required developing an AI model to predict the quantity of the sun rays generated in developing countries. 1472 teams in total participated. If the AI model is applied in developing countries, it is expected that a supply of energy will be possible in areas with unstable supplies of electricity.

SUNY Korea student developed an iPhone app for SUNY Korea students SUNY Korea student Hasung Jun (CSE/TSM) released an iPhone app which helps SUNY Korea students manage their course schedule, find a directory, check the academic calendar and locate important contacts. As a SUNY Korea student, Hasung found there is a need for an application to replace the existing scheduling app, which targets university students in Korea, and in which all the scheduling is done manually. To turn this ‘need’ into reality, the courses he took in the CSE department helped him in certain ways to build the application. The HCI (Human Computer Interaction) course especially played a role to deliver good UI/UX to students. Professor Alex Kuhn, who taught the HCI, also helped Hasung in various ways: helping to meet Apple’s requirements for application release and giving plenty of feedback. Prof. Kuhn said, “Hasung approached me with his idea of making the SUNI app for other students. I thought it was a great idea and always love to encourage and support our students in taking on side projects like this. Hasung has done a great job in building upon the concepts he learned in school and applying his knowledge to build and release this app, and I’m proud of what he has accomplished.” Since it is his first published application, it has captured all of his affection. “I plan to keep updating the app based on the feedback I got from students. I hope SUNI could help make SUNY Korea students’ life a little better”, Hasung said. The application is available in the AppStore. An Android version, which he is currently working on with other CS students, is planned to be released soon. Editor. Sage Seulgi Lee

SUNY Korea Students Participated in IFEZ Happy Tutoring Program Four SUNY Korea Students participated in the IFEZ Happy Tutoring Program Season 3. Incheon Free Economic Zone (IFEZ) held a volunteer tutor program to support children with low-income families. The students provided tutoring lessons (English and Mathematics) and mentored one elementary school student each. Starting from early November until December 2020, weekly online and offline meetings were organized depending on the COVID-19 situation. Here is the story of Soyon Kong, the program coordinator. I am Soyon Kong majoring in Applied Mathematics & Statistics (AMS) at SUNY Korea. In the 2020 Fall semester, I had a chance to participate in a volunteer program named IFEZ Happy Tutoring Program. Since all the education I received was thanks to the society I lived in, sharing my knowledge with others in the society who need it became quite important to me. So, when I first saw the email that SUNY is recruiting mentors to teach low-income children, I was glad to apply. After a meeting with IGC and the Child fund, all the mentors were assigned their mentees. As a coordinator (manager) of the program, I prepared the textbooks and snacks for all the members before the first mentoring class. Although I had to take the bus for about one and a half hours to arrive at my mentees home, I was delighted to meet my mentee. She was 10 years old and had a strong will to study hard. I felt bad that though she was very smart and loved to study, she could not get enough education just because she was growing up in a low-income family. It seemed unfair that intelligent and young students could not receive enough education because of money. I thought it would be nice if more students next semester volunteer as a mentor for the lovely children who have great will to study hard. Also, when I contacted the other mentors, all of them felt rewarded because of this program. All mentees had a great attitude toward their studies and had a good relationship with their mentors. Before we started the tutoring, at the meeting with the Child fund, the person in charge said we should be careful because the children have wounded hearts from their housing situation. But all of them were just normal and adorable children who love to spend time with their teachers. Even though it is a volunteer program to share knowledge with others, I learned a lot also. I strongly recommend this program to all students who would love to share their knowledge and feel rewarded.
