KIAT-CORIA G.R.I.D Webinar Explores Innovations in Low-Energy, Secure IoT for Real-World Applications by Professor Younghyun Kim
On October 16, 2025, the Korea Institute for Advancement of Technology (KIAT) and Purdue University’s Center of Operation and Research for Industry Advancement (CORIA) co-hosted their monthly webinar series with a presentation titled “Smart and Secure IoT: Powering Real-World Solutions with Low-Energy Devices,” featuring Professor Younghyun Kim.
In this session, Professor Kim addressed key challenges in the Internet of Things (IoT), focusing on energy efficiency and security. While IoT devices are common in everyday applications like smart homes, their use in critical sectors such as healthcare and agriculture is limited by battery constraints and data security risks.
Professor Kim introduced innovative solutions to extend battery life and improve device security without sacrificing performance. He also showcased applications of low-power IoT technology in sustainable agriculture, demonstrating benefits for both society and the environment.
This seminar was co-organized by Professor Martin Byung-Guk Jun, Director of CORIA, and Hwan Il Yoo, Chief representative of KIAT U.S. office. The KIAT-CORIA Webinar series connects Purdue professors with Korean academics, industry researchers, and institutions to foster joint research and networking. The seminars provide a platform for collaboration, knowledge sharing, and building partnerships to drive future technological innovation.
