    석사과정 이석재 연구생이 한국연구재단의 '2025년도 석사과정생 연구장려금 지원사업'에 최종 선정되었습니다! 🏆🏆

    이번 사업은 이공학 분야 대학원생의 연구 역량 강화를 위해 마련된 프로그램이며, 연구 과제로는 '수면 상태 분석을 위한 복합 센서 신호처리 집적회로 및 착용형 온디바이스 AI 시스템 개발'로, 뇌파⋅심전도⋅움직임 등 다양한 생체 신호를 초소형 집적회로에서 처리하고, 기기 자체 AI로 수면 단계를 실시간 분석하는 착용형 시스템을 개발하는 것 입니다.

    이는 고가의 병원 검사나 정확도에 한계가 있던 기존 스마트워치를 넘어, 일상 속에서 수면의 질을 정밀하게 평가하는 새로운 접근법으로 주목받을 것으로 기대합니다.

    이석재 석사과정 연구생의 '2025년도 석사과정생 연구장려금 지원사업' 최종 선정을 다시 한번 축하합니다! 🥳🥳

    Master's student Seokjae Lee has been selected for the Korea Research Foundation's '2025 Research Grants for Master's Students'! 🏆🏆

    This project is a program designed to strengthen the research capabilities of graduate students in the field of science and engineering, and the research topic is 'Development of a complex sensor signal processing integrated circuit and a wearable on-device AI system for sleep state analysis'. The goal is to develop a wearable system that processes various bio-signals such as brain waves⋅electrocardiograms⋅movements in an ultra-small integrated circuit and analyzes sleep stages in real time with the device's own AI.

    This is expected to be a new approach to accurately assessing sleep quality in everyday life, beyond expensive hospital tests or existing smartwatches with limited accuracy.

    Congrats again to Seokjae Lee for being selected as a finalist for the 2025 Master's Student Research Fellowship! 🥳🥳
