Professor Nam Ki Hyun (College of Liberal Arts) Selected Among World's Top 2% Researchers for Fifth Consecutive Year
- 25.10.29 / 전윤실
Professor Nam Ki Hyun of the College of Liberal Arts at Kookmin University (President Jeong Seung Ryul) has been named to the ‘2025 World's Top 2% Scientists’ list, jointly announced by Stanford University and Elsevier, for the fifth consecutive year. This globally authoritative list selects the top 2% of scientists in each field by comprehensively evaluating citation metrics and academic influence of researchers worldwide, based on Elsevier's Scopus database.
Professor Nam conducts research using X-ray crystallography techniques to elucidate protein structures and mechanisms of action. He has achieved extensive research accomplishments in the field of serial crystallography, particularly utilizing X-ray Free Electron Lasers (XFEL) and synchrotron X-ray sources, encompassing experimental technique development, research application, and theoretical establishment. Serial crystallography is a crucial field that provides structural information on the biologically important molecular dynamics of biomacromolecules. This enables the elucidation of functions at the molecular level and provides a foundation for accelerating new drug development.
Recently, with research support from the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory's 4th Generation Synchrotron Radiation Facility (PAL-XFEL), the team is developing serial femtosecond crystallography sample delivery technology in collaboration with accelerator researchers. Through joint research with Gyeongsang National University, the National University of Singapore, Yale University, and Dalian Minzu University. Additionally, active research is underway on the utilization and limitations of big data processing in serial crystallography and AI-based protein structure prediction.
Professor Nam stated, “It is a great honor to be selected among the top 2% of researchers globally for five consecutive years and to be ranked in the top 0.94% in the field of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. The support of my fellow researchers who collaborated on these studies was crucial in achieving these results. I will continue to dedicate myself to research, pioneer new research areas, and strive to become a researcher who contributes significantly to scientific advancement.”
