SEOUL, November 30 (AJP) - Kookmin University said in a recent announcement that Jang Young-min, who teaches electronic engineering at the university, has been named to the 2025 Top 2% Scientists list compiled by Stanford University and Elsevier. The global list, based on Elsevier’s Scopus database, evaluates citation indicators and academic influence to identify leading researchers across major fields.
Jang’s inclusion marks the third consecutive year he has appeared on the list. University officials noted that his work spans a wide mix of AI-convergence research, from optical wireless communication and battery management to sensor fusion, drone communication, quantum AI, 6G systems, and IoT networks. Much of his recent work sits within the university’s broader AI+X focus, especially in optical wireless links and energy management tied to international standardization efforts.
In his laboratory, Jang and his team have built core technologies such as LiDAR, RADAR and camera sensor fusion systems, energy AI, and device-to-edge-to-cloud AI platforms. Those technologies have been pushed toward international standardization, giving his research both practical and commercial weight.
Over the past five years, he has published 65 SCIE-indexed papers and secured 12 international patents, with 13 more currently filed, underscoring the originality and industrial relevance of his work.
“It is meaningful to see our AI+X convergence research recognized at the international level, especially because it is a collective achievement with graduate students and industry partners,” Jang said. He added that he plans to translate problem-solving research in industrial AI into verified technologies and develop them into internationally recognized ICT standardization guidelines.
