fund
Each of KAIST's 271 freshmen donated USD 8.50 to the school, totaling USD 2,300, as part of a campaign to support their alma mater. The donation was presented to President Steve Kang on December 10, 2015.
The students made the donation to express their thanks for what they have received from the school during their first year in KAIST.
Hae-In Suh, a freshman who participated in the donation campaign, said, “I’ve enjoyed many programs and events offered by the university in my first year, in which I learned a great deal about the university life and found many friends. I’m really happy to finish my first year with this meaningful contribution, albeit a small amount, to the school.”

research “One Experiment Is All It Takes”: KAIST Team Revolutionizes Drug Interaction Testing, Replacing 60,000 Studies
A groundbreaking new method developed by researchers at KAIST and Chungnam National University could drastically streamline drug interaction testing — replacing dozens of traditional experiments with just one. The research, led by Professor Jae Kyoung Kim of KAIST Department of Mathematical Sciences & IBS Biomedical Mathematics Group and Professor Sang Kyum Kim of Chungnam National University's College of Pharmacy, introduces a novel analysis technique called 50-BOA, published in Natu

research High-Resolution Spectrometer that Fits into Smartphones Developed by KAIST Researchers
- Professor Mooseok Jang's research team at the Department of Bio and Brain Engineering develops an ultra-compact, high-resolution spectrometer using 'double-layer disordered metasurfaces' that generate unique random patterns depending on light's color. - Unlike conventional dispersion-based spectrometers that were difficult to apply to portable devices, this new concept spectrometer technology achieves 1nm-level high resolution in a device smaller than 1cm, comparable in size to a fingernail
