Sungkyunkwan University's Shin Mi-kyung, a global biomedical engineering associate professor, has been chosen as one of 12 recipients for the 2026 Asian Young Scientists Fellowship (AYSF). The university announced on Friday that she has been awarded the prestigious title of "Asian Young Scientist Fellow" in the physical sciences category for her groundbreaking work on adhesive and conductive hydrogels. This recognition comes with a research grant of $100,000 (135 million won) over the next two years.
In addition to the financial support, Shin will have the opportunity to attend the AYSF annual conference on November 9 at the University of Hong Kong. This event will allow her to connect with a network of young scientists from across Asia and beyond. The AYSF is a privately funded academic support program committed to identifying and nurturing exceptional early-career researchers in Asia who are making significant contributions to creative and transformative research in their respective fields.
The fellowship is exclusively open to promising scientists with full-time academic positions in Asia, who are within 10 years of completing their doctoral degrees.
