Awarded Outstanding Presentation Award at International Conference / Jakir Imran (Ph.D. Candidate, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Graduate School, Class of 2021)
- 26.01.27 / 전윤실
Jakir Imran, a Ph.D. candidate in the Biomedical Device Laboratory (Advisor: Professor Kim Jung Kyung) at our university, was awarded the Outstanding Presentation Award at The 3rd Emerging Technologies in Mechanical Engineering International Conference held at the High1 Grand Hotel Convention Tower from December 10 to 12. He received the award for his presentation titled ' NIR Imaging of Fluid–Tissue Dynamics and Predictive Analysis of Rheology-Driven Needle-Free Jet Injection in Ex Vivo Porcine Skin' at The 3rd Emerging Technologies in Mechanical Engineering International Conference held at the High1 Grand Hotel Convention Tower from December 10 to 12, 2025, and received the Outstanding Presentation Award. Fifteen papers were selected for this award out of a total of 148 presented papers at the conference.
This study systematically analyzed the effects of the rheological properties of drugs—based on Newtonian fluids, non-Newtonian fluids, and protein formulations—on the penetration and dispersion behavior of microjets within skin tissue. By combining high-speed near-infrared imaging technology with optical clearing techniques for porcine skin tissue samples, the microjet penetration and diffusion profiles across various formulations were quantitatively characterized. The precise impact of increased drug viscosity on jet diameter, penetration depth, and tissue diffusion properties was evaluated. Furthermore, by applying a data-driven machine learning model, the potential for developing a smart needle-free syringe system capable of actively controlling injection conditions based on predicted penetration depth was demonstrated. This enables consistent targeted delivery of vaccines, insulin, and high-concentration biological agents, while simultaneously minimizing trial-and-error in formulation-device co-design and enhancing both administration reliability and patient convenience.
The Biomedical Device Laboratory at Kookmin University is dedicated to commercializing diagnostic and therapeutic medical devices through collaborative research with hospitals, industries, and research institutes. This effort builds upon fundamental research in bio-fluid and bio-energy interactions, aiming to achieve practical applications and business viability.
