A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Sung Won Lee

As I complete my term as the 33rd President of the KSEA, I would like to express my deep appreciation of many individuals, members and non-members alike, who gave their valuable time and energy for the good of the KSEA. Also, I would like to thank the KUSCO and other organizations for their generous monetary contributions. The first major event of my term was the UKC2004 held in August 2004 in Research Triangle Park, NC. I am grateful that the UKC2004 was a big success, and I am also thrilled that the UKC2005, being organized by my successor Prof. Kwang-Hae Kim, is expected to be even a bigger success. The next major event of my term was the Young Generation Technical and Leadership Conference (YGTLC2005) held January 2005 in San Francisco with support from the KUSCO. The YGTLC2005 provided young generation Korea-Americans with networking opportunities while sharing and showcasing their achievements and potential. I would like to thank Prof. David Hosin Lee, YG Committee Chair, for organizing this important event. The National Mathematics Competition (NMC2005), held on April 2, 2005, was also a big success. About 2,000 students from 20 chapters participated in the competition. I would like to thank Vice President Kang-Won Lee who was tasked to organize the NMC2005, NMC Committee members, problem writers, participating chapter presidents and numerous people who volunteered to make the NMC2005 a truly successful event for the Korean-American community. The NMC2005 was also instrumental in revitalizing local chapters which had been dormant for many years. The Georgia Chapter and the Philadelphia Chapter elected new officers and participated in the NMC2005 for the first time in the history of their chapters. As for scholarships programs, a new named scholarship was established in memory of the late Dr. Je Hyun Kim, the 8th President of KSEA, and his wife Nam Sook Kim. The scholarship is based on

the funds from the estate of Dr. Je Hyun Kim and a generous gift from their three sons. Also, we were able to complete the establishment of the Shoon Kyung Kim Scholarship, which was initiated in the 31st Administration. I am happy to report that, in addition to the annual KSEA Scholarships program, an entirely new program, called the KUSCO Scholarships for Graduate Students, was established, with the funds generously provided by KUSCO. This program is to recognize graduate students in science and engineering who have demonstrated excellence in academics as well as potential for becoming leaders in the society. For the year 2005, 14 graduate students were selected for the KUSCO Scholarships. The financial situation of the KSEA has improved during my term and the short term health of KSEA finances is good. However, the KSEA needs to develop a long term strategic plan for fund raising if it is to develop into a viable volunteer organization relevant to its members and the communities in the US and Korea. As I look back, I realize again that I have been blessed with opportunities to meet and work with many individuals of extraordinary talents and volunteer spirits. Their kindness and willingness to help others for the good of the KSEA has touched my heart and helped me keep going even when I felt tired and weary. For this, I thank the KSEA members as well as the friends of KSEA, and I encourage people to join and serve for the KSEA. Sung Won Lee KSEA 33rd President

Young Generation Forum 2004 in Korea

Seung-Ho Won

Castle Point on Hudson S – 1622, Hoboken, NJ 07030 This article addresses my experience attending Young Generation Forum during the summer of 2004 in Korea.

Introduction Getting accepted to attend the YG Forum last winter, made me excited and somewhat worried. I was excited because this gave me a chance to go back to my country that I had not visited for five years, and associate with colleagues. I was so curious to see how the country and the people have changed since I was in Korea last time. On the other hand, I was worried because I had never attended a conference in my life before and did not know what I was going to do in that forum, what I had to do nor what people were going to expect from me. I expected something similar to some of the boring workshops that my father used to drag me all over the country, when I was in Germany. However, it turned out to be one of the most exciting moments of my life. I met about 120 new people from around the world including people from the United States, and made new friends that I would not exchange for anything.

YGF 2004 To sum up the Young Generation Forum one can break it down into two parts: events that were held in the hotel, and visiting industrial and historic sites. First and foremost, honestly speaking, there were some good and bad parts at the hotels we stayed in. Capital Hotel in Itaewon, Seoul, was a very nice place to stay in, but the commuting distance was kind of far and the food quality wasn’t as good as expected. Hilton Hotel in Gyeongju was luxurious as would be expected from such a name and the food was very good. Presentations by students, lectures from professors, group discussions and CEO/CTO dinner were held at the hotels. One of the professors that we met was Dr. Ho-Sin

Lee, professor at the University of Iowa. I would have never thought that there would be a Korean professor in the States who was so intelligent and who could make the lectures interesting and fun. He was also very talented when he showed his dancing skills at the farewell party.

Country Representatives’ presentations gave me good insight into what’s going on right now in the latest technology in all the different fields. After the presentations, we formed several groups to hold discussions.


How to make human network?

In the group meetings we had to put our heads together and try to think and gather information we have learned so far in our scholastic careers. Subsequent presentations after the group discussions, showed us that, with in the same subject, we could think of lots of different things. Some groups had similar thoughts as we did, others had totally different perspectives, which showed that not all of the people think the same way. Also, the subject, “How to make human network?” demonstrated to us clearly that knowing many people and establishing human network will be one of the abilities we need to develop and depend on in the future.

Top: POSCO President and Hyundai President,

Bottom: Samsung Vice Chairman, LGE President We met four major individuals from the big industries of Korea. They were Mr. Chang-Oh Kang, President of POSCO, Mr. Sang-Kwon Kim, President of R&D Division, Hyundai Motor Company & Kia Motors Corporation, Mr. Yoon-Woo Lee, Vice Chairman of SEC Global Collaboration Officer / CEO of Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology, and Dr. Hee-Gook Lee, President of LG Electronics. They spoke about what their companies were doing, what they would be

doing in the future and what they were looking for. After the presentations by the CEOs, we had a dinner with them.

The day before the last day, we had a farewell party at Hilton Hotel. It started with country representatives’ show. People showed dancing, singing skills and some martial arts. The hotel provided a speaker system and the lights that made the hall look like a dance hall. Professor Lee offered a prize of 100,000 won to anyone who could tell the name of everyone present at the party.


Kevin from Korea tried and he really could tell all the names of not only the students who attended the forum, but also the staff members who worked for us. I thought it was amazing. Kevin was very considerate. He used the prize money for the snacks and beverages for our last farewell party.

After arriving at the Capital hotel back in Seoul, everyone was sort of bummed and did not want to say good bye to each other. It looked like the journey of the Young Generation Forum was too short for us. Especially for me, it was one of the most memorable moments in my life. Farewell Song sung all together

Natural Gas Demand in the USA - Why LNG & Gas Hydrate

Jaeyoung Lee, P.E. Offshore Pipeline Consultant

JYL Pipeline Consultant, Inc., Houston, TX Natural Gas Demand in USA Natural gas demand was boosted by the 1980s’ oil shock and has continued to grow. This growth is due to the clear environmental advantage of natural gas over other fossil fuels and its superior thermal efficiency. Now, approximately 25% of energy used in the United States is supplied by natural gas. Texas alone uses more natural gas than the combined countries of England and Japan [1]. Natural gas is used by the industry (40%), residential (22%, for heating, cooling, and cooking), business sector (15%), and electricity generation plant (14%). It is also used as a raw material to make paint, plastics, fertilizer, steel, fabrics, glass, etc. Natural gas demand will grow by more than 38% by 2025 [2]. One projection suggests that the United States could face a gap in natural gas supply of approximately 5 trillion cubic feet (tcf=1012cubic feet) in 2020 [3]. This means that approximately 41.7 million US homes will not receive natural gas since the average home in Houston uses about 120,000 cubic feet of natural gas per year. To fill the gap between the natural gas demand and supply, the investment on LNG (Liquefied Natural gas) value chain and research on gas hydrates are recommended. LNG LNG is simply a liquid form of natural gas, primarily methane (CH4). Typical LNG consists of 95% methane and 5% ethane, propane, butane, and nitrogen, while natural gas contains 82% of methane. LNG is a clear, odorless, non-corrosive and non-toxic “cryogenic” (meaning low temperature below -100oF) liquid. When natural gas is supplied to the final users, a special chemical, mercaptan, is added to give the natural gas its distinctive, unpleasant smell so that a leak can be detected.

LNG is commonly confused with another form of natural gas, LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas). LPG is a mixture of mostly propane andform at room temperature under of 200 psi. (In European countKorea, propane content in LPG LPG can not be called a “liquefie Unlike LPG, LNG is a naturalcooled to the point that it con(called liquefaction), which o161oC) and at atmospheric presnoted that the gas mixture is pressurization.

Most of the LNG imported to the US comes from Oman, Libya, and Australia. The United States is the 4th largest LNG importing country in the world. Table 1 shows the top 5 countries involved in LNG trade [4]. Future of LNG Gas production in the United States has leveled off and is expected to decline in the coming years. Approximately 15% of natural gas used in the USA is imported from Canada. However, the supply piped in from Canada will be reduced due to the increase in Canada’s domestic demand and declined gas production. To meet the future natural gas demand in the USA, two solutions are suggested; Increase LNG import and develop a new energy source such as gas hydrate. Imported LNG currently accounts for only 1-2% of the total US gas consumption. Experts predict it could expand its market share to 10% by 2020. It is, however, very hard and competitive to acquire reliable and long-term LNG providers due to politics and increasing gas demand worldwide. To receive an increased LNG import, a sufficient number of import terminals should be built. Worldwide, there are 17 LNG export terminals, 40 import terminals, and more than 140 LNG ships. Qatar plans to build 44 new LNG ships by 2020. All ships will be built by three big shipbuilders in Korea. There are about 200 “peakshaving” (gas saving storage for peak demand) and LNG storages across the globe. However, there are only 4 LNG import terminals in the USA, mostly with a send-out capacity of 1.0-1.2 bcfd (billion cubic feet per day). As a reference, Korea has the second largest import terminal (capacity of 3.0 bcfd) in the world, followed by Japan (capacity of 3.7 bcfd). Fortunately, since last year, three dozen terminals have been approved or proposed in the USA [2]. The first offshore LNG terminal, called Energy Bridge Deepwater Port, is in-service 116 miles off from Louisiana coast since March 2005. The world’s first LNG-RV (regasification vessel) called Excelsior will be moored in this offshore terminal and the regasified natural gas from the ship will be transported through the offshore gas pipeline to the onshore facility. The Excelsior, built by DSME in Korea, has a storage capacity of 3.0 bcf and offloading capacity of 0.5 bcfd. Seven vessels of

this size can supply enough LNG required by Korea per year. The offshore LNG terminal is considered as an attractive option in terms of safety from terror attacks. Gas (Methane) Hydrate Gas (Methane) hydrates are semi-solids which lock up methane gas under suitable temperature and pressure in an ice-like lattice of water molecules. They are present virtually everywhere but especially under deep ocean and permafrost (offshore Arctic) in vast quantities. They are considered as a next-generation energy source because they do not create carbon dioxide and are more plentiful than natural gas. Experts predict that the gas hydrate has an energy potential more than twice that of all other fossil fuels combined. Methane hydrate was discovered only a few decades ago, and little research has been done until now. Technology that is able to pull out the gas inexpensively and safely does not exist. Because methane is a greenhouse gas, release of even a small percentage of total deposits could have a serious effect on earth’s atmosphere and global warming. During drilling operations, the freed gas may explode and result in a loss of control of the well. On a larger scale, the unstable offshore hydrate layers could cause a tsunami. The United States approved a $47.5 million investment over five years towards methane hydrates. Korea unveiled a plan to invest 45 billion Won in the next 10 years to conduct a compressive study on Dokdo, which possibly has large deposits of gas hydrates able to relieve Korea of the need to import LNG for the next 30 years [5]. This is one reason why Japan is claiming that the Dokdo is their island. Conclusions Natural gas demand in the USA has continued to grow after the 1980s’ oil shock. At present, the USA relies on natural gas by approximately 25% of energy consumption and this number will grow to 38% by 2025. To fill the gap between the natural gas demand and supply, the investment on LNG value chain and research on gas hydrates are recommended. LNG is cheaper than transporting natural gas in


offshore pipelines for distances of more than 700 miles or in onshore pipelines for distances greater than 2,200 miles. If natural gas needs to be imported across the oceans, LNG is the only solution. To receive an increased LNG import, a sufficient number of import terminals should be built. Currently, there are only 4 LNG import terminals in the USA. Fortunately, since last year, three dozen terminals have been approved or proposed in USA. Gas (Methane) hydrate is an ice-like semi-solid formation of water and methane and can be found virtually everywhere but especially under deep ocean and permafrost (offshore Arctic) in vast quantities. They are considered as a next-generation energy source because they do not create carbon dioxide and are more plentiful than natural gas. However, no one knows how to pull out the gas inexpensively and safely. Continuous research and development on gas hydrates will relieve the USA from the dependence on foreign gas import.

KWiSE NEWS

The KWISE 2nd Meeting: The KWISE 2nd meeting was held 7:00 –10:00 pm, Thursday, January 20, 2005 at the Beckman Center, TSRI. Korean dinner, generously provided by the TSRI café, kicked off the second meeting of KWISE. Following the opening remarks by Dr. Han, the president of KWISE, a survey was conducted to better serve the members. It was also discussed why the members of KWISE should sign up as the members of KSEA. The theme of the second meeting was “Working in Academia vs. Industry”, and the speakers presented issues from each side. The first presentation was titled Career Development: Working in Academia, given by Dr. Jungsook Cho. She talked about the obstacles of becoming a woman scientist in the states and in Korea. In order to succeed in the field of science as women, Dr. Cho believes that we become confident candidates by publishing as many papers as possible and broadening network, just to list a few. She also talked about pros and cons of being a professor.

The second speech, "How have the Expectations and Aspirations of Women Engineers changed?" was presented by Dr. Hee Koo Moon from Solar Turbines. With the data gathered from different sources, he showed how the number of women engineers has increased over the years although only half of those with bachelor's degree seem to further pursue their career. Dr. Moon concluded his presentation with pragmatic roles and challenges one might face while working in the industry. Whereas academia stresses on discoveries and development of new technologies, industry stresses on profit and cost-efficiency of the technologies. After the short break, Prof. Paeng, Gi Jung presented under a topic of, “Visions on working in Academia or Industry”. He explained the advantages and disadvantages of working in the Academia and Industry. In addition, he also pointed out the other opportunities such as working in the government or starting own venture company. The meeting ended around 10pm. Although the meeting went a bit long, the time really flew quickly as we enjoyed the seminars so much. We greatly appreciate Prof. Cho, Dr. Moon and Prof. Paeng for their wonderful presentations. We look forward to seeing each of you soon in the next meeting. -Julia Kim


The KWISE 3rd Meeting: The KWISE 3rd meeting was held 6:00 –9:00 pm, Saturday, June 11, 2005 at the Beckman Center, TSRI. The career development seminar was followed by Korean dinner (Gim-bob and drink), provided by KWISE and KSEA-SD. Dr. Han, president of KWISE, hosted the speaker, Dr. Sooja K. Kim, who is Chief of Endocrinology, Metabolism, Nutrition and Reproductive Sciences, Center for Scientific Review (CSR) at NIH. The seminar entitled “How to Prepare a Successful NIH Grant Proposal” provided the overview of the review process for a research grant and expert recommendations for the grant writing and submission. Dr. Kim also spoke about common problems in grant applications and tips for resubmitting if revision becomes necessary. According to Dr. Kim, each grant application is received and processed by CSR and assigned to one of the IRG’s study sections, composed of about 20 reviewers. Scientific Review Administrators (SRA), like Dr. Kim, select three major reviewers who would review the grant in detail and discuss its scientific merit with the rest of the members in the study section. Keeping a close contact with the SRA can be helpful for the applicants since many of the

questions regarding study section and review process can be answered by SRA. Some of the common problems in applications which CSR frequently encounters are the following: 1) diffuse, superficial, or unfocused research plan; 2) unrealistically large amount of work; 3) uncertainty concerning future directions. Furthermore, Dr. Kim conveyed the importance of having concise but relevant Specific Aims that are clearly addressed by each of the listed experiments. For the first time applicants, having a strong departmental or institutional support, as well as qualified collaborators or consultants, is crucial. Overall, the KWISE 3rd meeting was extremely informative and beneficial. The handouts of the slides were helpful as they allowed us to easily follow the presentation and keep the detailed information. After the presentation, Dr. Kim kindly answered all of the questions from the audience with great detail. We thank Dr. Kim for taking her time to provide us with an excellent opportunity to learn essential features of grant writing. We look forward to seeing you all again at the next KWISE event. -Sohye Kang

SW State Chapter NMC


North Texas Chapter We are a dynamic KSEA organization from the greater Dallas-Fort Worth area that aspire to promote good fellowship among the members, support the community, particularly education of the young children, and advance science and technologies. Key annual events include Fall and Spring Seminars, National Math Competition and Spring Picnic. Our seminars cover a broad range of topics: Imagine lectures on a divine beauty of Suk-Kul-Am and its structural challenges, amazing capability of a tiltrotor aircraft that can best be described as a hybrid between a helicopter and a plane, to implications of drug discovery cost on healthcare. Goals for the seminars are not just to exchange useful technical information but to share the time together with good food and social hour afterwards. Of course, the main event is the National Math Competition. Incremental benefit we offer is generous awards for the local winners particularly through the financial sponsorship from Texas Instruments, Samsung Telecom America, and Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Texas, Dallas. Each participant receives UT Dallas T shirt, and the first, second and third place winners from each grade receive $150, $100 and $50, respectively. Both UT Dallas and UT Arlington Korean-American students actively support this event from classroom monitoring and grading to real time report summary and award preparation. While the test is in process, we give a seminar to the parents. Last two years were on practical tips on college admissions as well as medical, dental and pharmacy school application requirements. The most fun activity is our annual picnic held by the shore of Lake Lewisville. About 100 family members and friends attend. More important to note is the unique experience we share. In keeping up with the Southern tradition, we host the “crawfish boil” fest and everyone digs into it with no shame. Crawfish is a miniature version of lobster but you need to work hard and eat lots of it!

We consume over 300 pounds of the stuff. Corn and potato are excellent compliments. If your mouth and fingers didn’t turn red from the Cajun spice, you didn’t eat enough. Prof. Gil S. Lee, the past president of our chapter, is a designated cook for the day and he is definitely a pro! Who brings his own gear necessary for the boil? Dr. In Ho Kim is our photographer. He is always in the background clicking shots whenever we sponsor events like this. Once we are done eating, we get down to the business of annual meeting and election. A newly appointed vice president and president-elect is Mr. Yo-Chuol Ho of TI. Looking ahead in the coming year, in addition to the events we routinely sponsor, we hope to broaden our involvement in mentoring young children and community work. We want to make a difference.
