Institute of Information & Electronic Engineering

The Institute of Information & Electronic Engineering actively conducts academic research in computer science, information and communication, semiconductors, biomedical engineering, and control engineering. Centered around approximately 20 research laboratories, the institute aims to contribute not only to academic advancement but also to the development of the local community through continuous R&D in information, communication, and electronic engineering—key fields that will lead the 21st century. The institute is also actively participating industry-university cooperation activities such as performing joint research and developing projects with companies by providing technical consulting and facility support to companies.

Smart Computing Laboratory

The Smart Computing Laboratory conducts continuous R&D for convergence research on smart computing technologies for computer engineering in the modern industry, and is conducting research on smart computing through seminars·national research projects to link university research with smart computing research and technology development·external contracts. The laboratory is also practicing academic and technical exchange in the smart computing field by actively participating domestic and international seminars.

Bio-IT Research Center

The Bio-IT Research Center is actively performing research to lead the bio-industry through convergence R&D in bioinformatics and bioIT fields in the 21st century. The center is actively sharing technology and information through bioinformatics and bioIT related seminars, bio-convergence research and technology development through national research projects and industry-university research through external contracts, and participating domestic and international seminars.

Digital Healthcare Research Center

Digitalization—often referred to as the Fourth Industrial Revolution—has rapidly accelerated since the beginning of the 21st century, affecting virtually every sector. The healthcare and medical fields are no exception, undergoing significant innovation driven by a wide range of digital technologies. The Digital Healthcare Research Center is actively conducting research for innovation of healthcare applications using various technologies also known as ABC(AI, Big data, Cloud). The center is making various efforts including technology exchanges inside and outside the university such as the Future Colloquium of Software, joint R&D between the industry and university.

Data Science Convergence Research Center

The Data Science Convergence Research Center began as a statistical consulting office affiliated with the Department of Statistics, established in 1986. In 2009, it was officially approved as a statistical research institute under the College of Natural Sciences, and since then, it has conducted numerous research projects while providing various statistical consulting services. In 2018, the health big data infrastructure was established through an MOU with the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service, and educational and practical projects were carried out in collaboration with external partner organizations. The Data Science Convergence Research Center was officially launched that same year, and has since supported data-driven rational decision-making through active collaboration with local communities, industry, academia, hospitals, and government agencies. This research institute supports the infrastructure of 20 prominent finance, bio, medicine, and business professionals such as KT (advisor Hong-Jae Lee) and Seoul National University (Honorary Professor Jong-Woo Jeon), and is receiving research·educational projects from government agencies to contribute to the training of future generations and social contribution. The research institute is planning research·education·industry-university cooperation in wider range of fields as it was reorganized affiliated to the College of Information Science in 2022, and is currently focusing on collaborative research projects including the “Lifelog Big Data Platform Construction Project” and “Support Project for Digital Therapeutics Development.”
