Under the supervision of Professor Ilkyeong Moon, Mr.Kim won the prize for presenting his thesis on " Early Stage Response Problem for Post-Disaster Incidents."
 
Roads that have been destroyed after a disaster disturb smooth relief work and disaster recovery. In particular, isolated areas would be continuously damaged. If those areas are kept isolated and cannot be fixed within a golden time, they can be more damaged. Mr.Kim suggested a repair manpower scheduling model for road recovery in terms of the damage patterns based on the golden time.
 
Mr.Kim said, "Thanks to my enthusiastic supervisor and colleagues, I could won the prize. I would like to develop my research in order to reduce the damage caused by the disaster.”
