Samsung Science and Technology Foundation announced its selection of 22 original and challenging research projects for funding in the second half of 2021. Among them are Professor Moon-Jin Kang’s research on the ‘Uniqueness and Stability of Riemann problem for compressible Euler system’, Professor JungHwan Park’s ‘4-dimensional topology and surface singularities’, Professor Jinhyun Park’s ‘On motivic cohomology of singular or non-reduced schemes’.

Established in 2013 to help foster the development of basic science and advanced technologies in Korea, the Foundation has offered grants to scientists twice in a year to support their work.

The newly selected 22 research projects are 10 in basic science, 6 in materials engineering, and 6 in information and communications technology (ICT).
