POSTECH’s Graduate Institute of Ferrous Technology (GIFT) raised the student of the year in the materials field. Jae Hoon Jang (Ph.D., advisor Professor Suh Dong-Woo), who was formerly a Ph.D. student in the computational metallurgy lab (CML), won the Acta Student Award this year. This is an tremendous accomplishment because he is the first Korean student to have received this award.
This award is given to the student who is the lead author of a paper and shows outstanding excellence among papers published in ActaMaterialia, Scripta- Materialia, and Acta-Biomaterialia.
Jang won this award by his paper, “Stability of (Ti, M)C (M=Nb, V, Mo and W) carbide in steels using first-principles calculations”, which he published last year in ActaMaterialia, the most prestigious publication in the field of structural materials. 
The awards ceremony is scheduled to be held at “Materials Science & Technology 2013”, in Montreal, Canada on Oct. 27-31, and 2000 dollars will be awarded as a prize.
