Kookmin University (President Jeong Seung Ryul) announced that undergraduate students from its College of Automotive Convergence received the Outstanding Presentation Award in the undergraduate category at the ‘2025 The Korean Society of Automotive Engineers (KSAE) Fall Conference and Exhibition’.

At this conference, Kim Jong Hoon from the Department of Automotive Engineering won for his paper “Quantification and Tuning of Vehicle Steering Balance Across All Speed Ranges: Adams/Car-Based Ramp Steer Analysis and Real-Vehicle Verification,” while Yeo Han-bin from the Department of Automotive IT Convergence won for his paper “Secure Vehicle OTA Updates: Analysis of Current Technology Limitations and Security Directions through Prototype Implementation.”

Kim Jong Hoon, a student in the Department of Automotive Engineering at Kookmin University, conducted joint research with Park Min Woo, a fellow student in the same department. Their study, which combined vehicle steering characteristic analysis with real-vehicle verification, was recognized for its potential application in the field of vehicle performance evaluation. Yeo Han Bin's research, conducted under the guidance of Professor Jeon Sang Hoon in the Department of Automobile and IT Convergence, involved joint research with Park Geon Ho and Park Jang Woon, students in the same department. Park Jang Woon, demonstrated the technological importance of addressing vehicle OTA update security issues in future mobility environments.

Meanwhile, Kookmin University, home to Korea's only dedicated automotive college, the College of Automotive Engineering, and as the lead institution for the Future Automotive Consortium under the Convergence and Open Sharing System, is at the forefront of cultivating talent in the future automotive mobility sector focused on autonomous driving, electrification, and software.
