SKKU Hosts Oxford Mindfulness Talk

Posted on by SKKU

SKKU’s International Affairs Division and the Department of Social Welfare held the “Mindfulness for Life” talk concert on March 18, inviting Professor Willem Kuyken, a clinical psychologist at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. The event was organized to offer students who are experiencing psychological difficulties amid various concerns such as academics, career paths, and interpersonal relationships a new perspective and practical support through mindfulness.

Professor Kuyken is a world-renowned authority in the field of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) research and has been actively conducting studies on the prevention of depression and anxiety and the promotion of mental health. In his lecture that day, he explained how mindfulness helps people recognize and accept present experiences as they are and introduced practical ways to ease recurring cycles of negative thoughts and emotions.

In the session that followed, in-depth discussions were conducted around three cases based on students’ concerns collected through a pre-event survey. In particular, Professor Sungmin Yoon of the Department of Social Welfare participated in this session together with Professor Kuyken, enabling a more extensive discussion. The first case presented a perspective that viewed “rest” not as failure but as part of sustainable growth through the experience of a student who repeatedly set excessive goals and experienced burnout. The second case focused on how to understand one’s identity and values separately amid achievement-centered self-perception and career-related anxiety. Finally, through a case involving loneliness and disappointment in interpersonal relationships, the importance of mindfulness in finding balance in relationships with others and caring for oneself was emphasized.

For each case, Professor Kuyken and Professor Sungmin Yoon presented ways for students to view their emotions and thoughts more flexibly from the perspective of mindfulness, and attendees took time to reflect on and empathize with their own experiences.

During the Q&A session that followed, students continued to participate actively, raising questions on a wide range of topics, including mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), career concerns, and methods of emotional regulation. The speaker drew a strong response by empathizing with each student’s situation and offering practical advice.

The International Affairs Division and the Department of Social Welfare, which co-hosted the event, expressed their hope that the program served as an opportunity for students to view the anxiety and concerns they had felt only vaguely from a new perspective. They also stated that they plan to continue organizing a variety of programs that can support students’ growth in the future.

AI Technology for Recognizing Actions

Posted on by SKKU

A research team led by Jae-Pil Heo, Professor in the Department of Software at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU), has developed an Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology that can accurately recognize new actions from only a small number of example videos.

Typically, AI requires massive amounts of training data to understand complex human actions. However, in real-world scenarios, it is often difficult to secure sufficient video data for specific actions. To address this limitation, the research team focused on few-shot action recognition, which enables AI to learn and distinguish the characteristics of new actions from only a few examples.

The research team’s core idea is to compare videos by efficiently summarizing only their key movements, rather than relying on conventional complex computations that compare entire videos frame by frame in temporal order. To achieve this, the team extracts and organizes key movement patterns from each video based on several criteria, enabling the AI to compare actions more effectively and identify similarities and differences more accurately.

A key strength of this technology is its robustness to variations in action speed and duration. Even when the same action is performed at different speeds or over different durations due to individual habits or filming conditions, the algorithm can reliably capture the essence of the action and recognize it effectively despite such temporal variations.

This achievement has been internationally recognized for its academic significance and technical excellence. The paper was selected for an Oral Presentation at CVPR 2025, one of the most prestigious conferences in computer vision and artificial intelligence.

This technology is expected to play an important role in a wide range of applications that require advanced video understanding, including sports motion analysis, intelligent security systems for detecting dangerous situations, and autonomous behavior learning for robots.

Electrochemical Lignin Conversion

Posted on by SKKU

A research team led by Professor Jaehoon Kim at Sungkyunkwan University and Dr. Dong Ki Lee at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) has developed a highly efficient catalytic process that electrochemically converts lignin, a key component of woody biomass, into value-added aromatic compounds and cyclohexene-based compounds. This study demonstrates that the recalcitrant ether bonds in lignin can be selectively cleaved under relatively mild conditions without the use of external hydrogen gas, while simultaneously upgrading lignin into useful chemical precursors. The research results were published in Applied Catalysis B: Environment and Energy (IF 21.1, top 2% in JCR) in February 2026.

As interest in carbon neutrality and sustainable chemical industries continues to grow, active efforts are being made to replace fossil resource-based aromatic chemicals with biomass-derived materials. Among them, lignin is regarded as a promising source of a wide range of aromatic compounds because it is the most carbon-rich component in woody biomass. However, its selective conversion is extremely difficult due to its complex polymeric structure and strong C–O and C–C bonds. In particular, 4–O–5 and α–O–4 diaryl ether bonds have previously been targeted for cleavage under high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogen atmospheres, but such approaches have been limited by high energy consumption and low selectivity. In addition, previous electrochemical lignin depolymerization studies have also suffered from low monomer yields and insufficient direct identification of actual lignin-derived products.

To overcome these limitations, the research team proposed an electroreductive lignin conversion strategy using a 5 wt% Pd/C catalyst. This process operates by utilizing reactive hydrogen formed on the catalyst surface during water electrolysis to cleave ether bonds in lignin. In other words, it enables simultaneous lignin depolymerization and subsequent hydrogenation using only electrical energy, without any external hydrogen supply, while allowing precise control over the amount of surface-adsorbed hydrogen through current density regulation. The team validated the performance of this approach using both model compounds representing 4–O–5 and α–O–4 bonds and real birch-derived lignin solvolysate.

As a result, the 4–O–5 bond model compounds diphenyl ether (DPE) and phenyl tolyl ether (PTE) were completely converted within 90 minutes at 70°C and 50 mA cm⁻², while the α–O–4 bond model compound benzyl phenyl ether (BPE) was also fully converted at the lower temperature of 30°C. High selectivity was also confirmed in terms of product formation. DPE produced cyclohexanol at 99.8% and cyclohexane at 85.2%; PTE produced 4-methyl cyclohexanol at 99.5% and methyl cyclohexane at 95.6%; and BPE yielded cyclohexanol at 99.2%, toluene at 51.8%, and methyl cyclohexane at 46.3%. These results show that, following ether bond cleavage in lignin, the resulting aromatic intermediates can be selectively hydrogenated into useful upgraded products.

The research team also identified the optimal conditions for improving reaction efficiency. When isopropanol (IPA) was introduced as a co-solvent, both substrate solubility and hydrogen transfer characteristics were enhanced simultaneously. In particular, at 30 wt% IPA, DPE conversion reached 100% and the Faradaic efficiency reached 70.2%. In addition, the best performance was observed at a current density of 50 mA cm⁻², whereas at higher current densities the competing hydrogen evolution reaction increased, which in turn reduced the efficiency of the target reaction. These results experimentally demonstrate that precise control of co-solvent composition and electrochemical conditions is critical for lignin electrochemical conversion.

Important findings were also obtained regarding the catalyst operating mechanism. The research team proposed a bifunctional mechanism in which PdO and metallic Pd in the Pd/C catalyst play different roles. PdO drives the cleavage of C–O bonds in lignin, while the subsequently generated Pd⁰ is responsible for hydrogenating intermediates such as phenol and benzene into cyclohexanol and cyclohexane. In fact, when only Pd foil was used, DPE conversion was limited to 19.3%, and when only PdO was used, it reached only 57.4%; by contrast, Pd/C exhibited the highest activity and selectivity. In addition, Pd/C showed better conversion performance than Pt/C, Ru/C, Ag/C, and Ni/C, together with the highest TOF of 468.0 h⁻¹, and maintained 95.0% DPE conversion even after five cycles, confirming its excellent durability.

The team further demonstrated the scalability of this technology by applying it to real birch biomass. Methanol solvolysis first achieved a delignification yield of 81 wt%, but the yield of lignin-derived phenolic monomers at this stage was only 5.0 C%. When the Pd/C-based electrochemical process was subsequently applied, efficiency was limited under strongly acidic conditions due to rapid repolymerization. However, when the system was switched to a milder 0.5 M acetate buffer (pH ≈ 5), the monomer yield increased to 13.6 C% after 1 hour and 19.6 C% after 4 hours. In particular, a high selectivity of 41.6% was obtained for 4-n-propanol syringol, and GC×GC–TOF/MS analysis confirmed the formation of various monomer products, including 4-n-propyl syringol, 4-n-propyl guaiacol, 4-n-propanol guaiacol, and syringylacetone.

This study is significant in that it presents a new biorefinery platform capable of selectively breaking recalcitrant lignin bonds and simultaneously converting them into value-added chemicals using electricity alone, unlike conventional high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation-based lignin upgrading processes. In particular, the study demonstrates mild processing conditions without external hydrogen, applicability to real woody biomass, and the functional division mechanism of PdO/Pd⁰, suggesting strong potential as a key technology for the future production of sustainable chemical materials and biofuel precursors.

Inha Med Students Honor ‘Silent Mentors’

Posted on by INHA University

Students from INHA College of Medicine became the first from a Korean medical school to participate in the ‘Silent Mentor’ program at Tzu Chi University College of Medicine in Hualien, Taiwan.

The training delegation, consisting of Vice Dean Choi Jeong-seok, Department Chair of Pre-medicine Kim Geun-ho, Professor Kim Il-doo, and four senior medical students, visited Tzu Chi University—world-renowned for its unique anatomy curriculum—for a six-day session from the 15th to the 20th.

The ‘Silent Mentor’ program is characterized by treating the cadaver not as a mere anatomical object, but as a ‘mentor,’ fostering deep reflection on respect for life and human dignity. Students engaged in a humanities-based educational process that included studying the donor’s life in advance, meeting with bereaved families, performing gratitude rituals, and attending memorial ceremonies to honor the donor’s legacy.

Notably, this practice utilized fresh(unembalmed) cadavers, which allow students to experience tissue textures similar to actual clinical settings without chemical preservation treatments. Students enhanced their practical capabilities by performing basic clinical skills, such as skin incision and suturing, vascular access, and arthrocentesis. Beyond technical acquisition, the experience provided an integrated education in empathy, ethics, and professionalism.

Tzu Chi University College of Medicine has practiced education that respects cadavers as ‘Silent Mentors’ since 1996 and has been operating this program in earnest since 2002. These efforts have spread bioethical awareness throughout Taiwanese society, resulting in approximately 43,000 organ and cadaver donation pledges to date, making it a global model for anatomical education.

This training is also part of the ‘Community-Based Medical Education’ program currently being promoted by the College of Medicine. Since last year, it has been adopted as specialized education under the ‘Regional Innovation Strategy and Capacity Building (RISE)’ project, conducted by the Ministry of Education and 17 metropolitan governments, including Incheon Metropolitan City, to strengthen educational capabilities.

Based on the achievements of this training, the College of Medicine plans to strengthen its clinical surgical anatomy curriculum—integrating medical humanities, basic anatomy, and clinical medicine—and systematize mutual cooperation with Tzu Chi University to transform into a medical school that fulfills its social responsibilities.

Lee Hoon-jae, Dean of the College of Medicine, stated, “This training at Tzu Chi University served as an important opportunity to confirm the direction of the community-based and integrated medical curriculum that Inha University College of Medicine pursues.” He added, “Based on the ‘Silent Mentor’ program model, we plan to fully implement a surgical anatomy curriculum in connection with our newly developed educational and practice facilities.”

New AI Boosts Image Restoration Efficiency

Posted on by INHA University

A research team led by Professor Lim Hongki of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at INHA University has recently developed ‘FAST-DIPS,’ a new artificial intelligence technology for image restoration based on diffusion models.

Professor Lim’s research team proposed a method to more quickly and stably solve ‘inverse problems,’ which involve reconstructing original images from degraded or partially observed data.

Image inverse problems are core challenges in computer vision and image processing, including super-resolution, inpainting, deblurring, phase retrieval, and HDR restoration. However, existing diffusion model-based restoration techniques have limitations: as problem types become more complex, they require repetitive gradient calculations or internal optimization processes, leading to high computational costs. In some cases, adjoint operators or pseudo-inverse matrices for each operator must be designed separately.

The core of the FAST-DIPS method proposed by the research team is to achieve fast and stable restoration with minimal computation at each step by combining constraints that strictly maintain consistency with measured values with analytically calculated optimal step sizes. This adjoint-free approach allows for flexible application to various linear and non-linear restoration problems without separate retraining. Furthermore, its implementation based on automatic differentiation offers the advantage not having to manually design complex adjoint-free analytic steps or pseudo-inverse matrices.

Additionally, the research team proposed a hybrid approach that combines pixel space and latent space. In the initial stages, reconstruction is performed in pixel space for fast computation, and it then transitions to latent space to better utilize the representative power of generative models, simultaneously enhancing both restoration quality and computational efficiency.

This study is significant for simultaneously increasing computational efficiency and application flexibility in diffusion model-based image restoration. The developed technology is expected to be widely utilized in various computer vision and scientific application fields that require high-speed, high-quality image reconstruction.

These research results were published in the paper titled ‘FAST-DIPS: Adjoint-Free Analytic Steps and Hard-Constrained Likelihood Correction for Diffusion-Prior Inverse Problems,’ with doctoral student Kim Min-woo and MS-PhD integrated student Shin Seung-hyeok participating as joint first authors under the guidance of Professor Lim Hongki.

The paper was recently accepted for ICLR 2026, an international academic conference in the field of artificial intelligence. ICLR is considered the world’s most prestigious international conference in the field of deep learning.

The research team is scheduled to present their findings at ICLR 2026 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, this coming April.
