What is Energy Science?
Energy Science includes researching key areas of energy science / technology for sustainable energy technology independence and sustainable economic growth. DoES(Department of Energy Science) is fostering creative scientists and leading researchers preparing future energy through fusion energy science education.
Energy problems are complex and require research in natural sciences, engineering, and social sciences. we need energy-related solutions that include both microscale and macroscale, so we should access to diverse perspectives as well as specific energy sources.
Goals & Targets of DOES
The Department of Energy Science (DOES) was founded at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) in 2009 as part of a WCU project funded by the Korean Government. From September 2013, DOES is funded by a BK21 PLUS grant from Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning, Korea.
Our goals are :
Ⅰ. Research
- Conducting cutting edge research to solve global energy issues.
- Creating energy resources by means of a long term self-sufficiency as well as sustainable and environmental friendly technologies.
Ⅱ. Education
- Fostering global specialists who will lead the field of energy science worldwide.
- Excellent researchers with new paradigms in energy science.
History
- The Department of Energy Science was established in 2009 under the Korean governmental project ‘WCU-World Class University’ supported by NRF (National Research Foundation in Korea)
- Center of Integrated Nanostructure Physics (PI: Prof. Young Hee Lee) was established in 2012 under the governmental program of Institute for Basic Science (IBS)
- BK21PLUS project ‘Integrated Energy Center for Fostering Global Creative Researcher’ (PI : Didier Pribat) was granted by NRF, Fall 2013.
Characteristics of the Department
- Department of Energy Science provides financial support (full tuition fees and monthly subsidy) for all students in the department
- The portion of international students is approximately 40% in the Graduate School of Department of Energy Science
- Official language for all activities including all graduate courses, technical seminars, and special lectures is English
