Soojin Jo, a student in the Mechanical Engineering Doctoral Program was awarded the 'IACM Fellowship for Early Career Female Researchers' by the International Association of Computational Mechanics (IACM) at the World Congress on Computational Mechanics (WCCM). She was previously selected as a scholarship student for the Global Postdoc Fellowship (GPF) in 2012, and has been researching the 'DNA Super Coil Mechanism based on Elastic Network Modeling' for the past five years. At the WCCM in 2016, she published a dissertation on the 'Homologous Recombination in DNA Foldback Intercoil Structure' and won an award.

Jang Kyun Lim, a student in the SAINT Doctoral Program also received a 'Travel Award' for a dissertation entitled 'Suggesting Optimum Design for Thermal Cutout Lamination', which has been supported by the Basic Research Laboratory (BRL) for the past five years. The 'Travel Award' is for outstanding students who are in the top 10% among 700 students who participated in WCCM congress. Some privileges such as exemption of the WCCM registration fee will be given.

The WCCM is the one of the world's largest and powerful conferences for computational mechanics which the IACM holds biannually. Theorists and commentators in various engineering fields participate.

The 2016 WCCM was held at COEX in Seoul from July 24th to July 29th. This event was successfully secured by Young Jin Kim (deceased), the ex-vice president of SKKU's Natural Sciences Campus, and over 2,000 people from related areas attended.
