North Korea selected the country’s top scientists and technicians for 2023.
The Labor Newspaper reported on the 6th that “The 21st Non-Regular 2.16 Science and Technology Awards Committee decided to award the 2.16 Science and Technology Award and the Science and Technology Innovation Award to more than 10 target tasks that raised the country’s science and technology to a world-class level and contributed to economic development and improvement of people’s lives last year.”
Seven people who performed the target tasks were selected to receive the 2.16 Science and Technology Award as the country’s top scientists and technicians for 2023. The achievements of the seven are as follows.
The National Academy of Sciences Nano Engineering Institute’s Nano Materials Research Institute researcher Lee Soo Young was introduced as a scientist who played an essential role in developing technology to separate fibers from hemp.
Researcher Lee and the research group of the NanoEngineering Institute successfully produced a decision-making process at the Youth Mine on December 5th, which was a valuable research result. They explained the reason for the promotion, which was that it contributed to the realization of the chemical industry.
Kim Hyuk Chun, head of the National Academy of Sciences’ Power Machinery Research Institute, was reported to have played a fundamental role in establishing a cooling water supply technology for thermal power plants by spray pumps.
Kim is in charge of the turbine research group and is a practical scientist who found the scientific and technological problems in producing several thermal power plants, including the East Pacific Thermal Power Plant, on his own.
He found a reasonable way to guarantee the cooling water of the condenser at the rated level without building a dedicated circulating water pump station or cooling tower with the scientists of the research group.
Professor Kang Jin Woo, chair of the physics department at Kim Il Sung University, played a critical role in research on quantum gravity, the accelerated expansion of the universe, and the generation of particles.
He was known as a first-rate scientist with a strong authority in Cosmology and Particle Theory, which has become a monopoly field of renowned universities and research institutes in several advanced countries.
Professor Kang, a recipient of the Kim Il Sung Youth Honor Award and the Kim Jong Il Youth Honor Award, entered the field of Particle Cosmology research, a cutting-edge undermost science field, in his early twenties after changing his original research field shortly after graduating from the doctoral program.
He is active as a member and exceptional researcher at an international research institute with a premier authority in Physics.
Professor Kim Moon Chul, Director of the Microbiology Institute at the National Science Academy, is an authoritative microbiologist who has played a leading and crucial role in realizing the industrialization of high-activity enzyme production. He has led research projects to increase the activity of various enzymes desperately needed in the agricultural, livestock, light industry, and food industry sectors to an outstanding level.
At the institute, he and his team have successfully achieved research results that have significantly enhanced the activity of various enzymes. These include cellulose-degrading enzymes, protein-degrading enzymes, sugar enzymes, and liquefaction enzymes. The activity level of these enzymes has been dramatically increased compared to before.
He also successfully solved scientific and technological problems raised in the industrial production of enzymes, and he arranged and operated enzyme research and product development processes excellently at the institute, introducing a large number of enzymes in tens of units.
Dr. Ji Eun Jung, a researcher at the Life Science Department of Kim Il Sung University, has played a leading role in developing a fertilizer input device that can increase the effectiveness of fertilizers in paddy rice cultivation and establishing a method of fertilizing through paddy water.
She received a Ph.D. at the age of 34 for her research achievements that contributed to the scientific management of post-harvest (after-crop) management in the agricultural sector and achieved the result of expanding the introduction to over 100,000 farming lands nationwide, including North and South Hwanghae Province and North and South Pyongan Province.
Dr. Kwon Chang Deok, head of the Mining Engineering Department at Kim Chaek University of Technology, has been a key scientist in contributing to food production by developing electric impulse water treatment technology and introducing it to paddy rice cultivation.
Dr. Kwon jumped into the research project with the conviction that if water treated with electric impulse is used as irrigation water and introduced to paddy rice production, the influence of harmful abnormal climate can be overcome, and the harvest per unit area can be increased without much effort and cost.
He developed electric impulse water treatment devices of various types that can improve the growth conditions of paddy rice, improved their characteristics and capabilities to a high level, and expanded the scale of introduction to about 100,000 units, enabling an average of 1 ton of grain to be increased per unit area.
Dr. Ri Kwang Jin, a researcher at the Medical Biology Research Institute of the Medical Research Institute, is a scientist in his 40s who played a crucial role in establishing a method for detecting pathogenic microbial nucleic acids.
In the early days, when a global health crisis occurred due to malignant, infectious diseases, he deeply remembered that scientific quarantine starts from scientific examination and embarked on research to newly establish a method for detecting malignant virus nucleic acids,
He developed pivotal technologies for producing nucleic acid detection reagents and newly established a nucleic acid detection method. He contributed to the emergency quarantine and health businesses by establishing a scientific examination method.
