UKC 2014 Forward Together About KSEA Korean-American Scientists and Engineers Association (KSEA) is a 43-year-old non-profit national-level professional organization. It is open for individuals residing in the USA who are engaged in science, engi- neering or a related field. The KSEA’s objectives are: • To promote the application of science and technology for the general welfare of society; • To foster the cooperation of international science communities especially among the US and Korea; • To serve the majority of Korean-American Scientists and Engineers and help them to develop their full career potential. KSEA has 70 Chapters/Branches, 13 Technical Groups and 26 Affiliated Professional Societies (APS) cover- ing all major branches of science and engineering. Since its birth in 1971, KSEA has been recognized as the main representative organization promoting the common interests of Korean-American scientists and engi- neers toward meeting the objectives mentioned above. KSEA welcomes participation from 1.5th-Generation, 2nd-Generation, and 3rd-Generation Korean-Amer- ican scientists and engineers including the mixed-race and adoptee communities. KSEA promotes helping younger-generation Korean-Americans to be aware of the rapid advances in science and engineering occur- ring both inside and outside of the US. Especially, it is helping to create opportunities for young generation members to interact with talented scientists and engineers in Korea.

The overall concept of UKC 2014 is to present a wide spectrum of recent development in Science and Technology and it’s impact on Industry and Entrepreneurship so that we can contribute to our societies, both in US and in Korea. ‘Forward Together’ is the theme of UKC 2014. We move forward together for the US-Korea cooperation in science and technology. We move forward together for cooperative policies and development in emerging technologies. And we move forward together to achieve our goal: The general wellbeing of people through science and technology. Dr. KOOKJOON AHN President, Korean-American KSEA is the largest Korean-American Scientists and Engineers society. We have grown to over Scientists and Engineers 10,000 registered members with more than 80 Chapters and Branches. Association This year in UKC 2014, we are honored to welcome more than 1,000 outstanding scientists and engineers, including many leaders from academia, research institutes, industry, and government agencies both from US and from Korea. UKC 2014 will provide an excellent platform not only to leverage existing partnerships but also to provide great opportunities to develop new coopera- tive programs. KSEA organized UKC 2014 with our great co-organizers: the Korean Federation of Science and Technology Societies (KOFST), and the National Research Foundation (NRF) of Korea. We have great sponsors who made UKC 2014 possible. They are KOFST, NRF, KIAT, KEIT, LG, POSCO, and UNIST, to name a few. We would truly appreciate the support from all the sponsors. Many volunteers prepared this event for a year. UKC 2014 is not possible without them and I sin- cerely appreciate their valuable time and effort. We now proudly present 12 symposia and quite a few forums for the coming three days. We will cover basic sciences, industry technologies, emerging technologies, and entrepreneurship. We tried to include quality presentations in our program. We tried to provide confortable atmo- sphere throughout the event. Now we hope UKC 2014 is a meaningful and memorable event in San Francisco to you all. Thank you. Kookjoon Ahn KSEA President and UKC2014 Chair Forward together /// 3 UKC 2014 MESSAGES MessaGE FROM UKC 2014 CO-ChAIR Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen! I would like to extend my warmest welcome to all of my distinguished guests for taking your time out of tight schedule to attend the 2014 US-Korea Conference on Science, Technology and Entrepreneurship. Let me express my sincere appreciation to the members of the Korean-American Scientists and Engineers Association (KSEA), including President Kookjoon Ahn, for all of you dedication and commitment in hosting today’s event. BOO-SUP LEE On behalf of the Korea Federation of Science and Technology Societies (KOFST) and the Organizing President, The Korean Committee for the UKC-2014, I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to the scientists and Federation of Science and engineers from Korea and American for coming a long way from afar to attend the Conference. Technology Societies Honorable Scientists and Engineers (from Korea and America)! This year marks the 43rd anniversary since KSEA was first established in 1971. Since it opened its first office in Vienna at the state of Virginia, it firmly established itself as the institution that represents the voices of the scientists and engineers in Korea and America. We have been able to achieve all the success of today’s glory thanks to the outstanding dedication shown by Korean-American scientists and engineers, who spared no efforts in overcoming various challenges and difficulties for a long time at this foreign land. Taking this opportunity, I would like to give my heartfelt congratulations to all of you here as we celebrate our great success. KSEA has been taking the lead in cooperation and exchanges between scientists and engineers between the two countries through UKC, where approximately a thousand scientists and engineers gather together every year. It also developed plenty of other programs such as the National Contest on Mathematics and Science for the second Korea-American generation, KSEA Young Investigator Grant, YGTLC, and Workshop for developing careers for young scientists and engineers, all of which contributed to nurturing future generation of scientists and engineers while consolidating our human networks. This year’s UKC will be held under the theme of “Forward Together,” as we review on the present developments of science and technology and explore ways for future direction together. It is my sincere hope that today’s meeting will serve as a precious opportunity to exchange useful information in areas of joint research and ultimately contribute to the advancement of science and technology in both countries. Before I conclude, I hope that this year’s event will prove to be
