ACEWORKS Forges Deeper R&D Ties with Hanyang University Faculty
ACEWORKS, a specialist in future mobility control and verification, is garnering attention for its consecutive efforts to strengthen industry-academic cooperation with South Korea’s top-tier mobility researchers this year.
On the 6th, ACEWORKS held a field visit at its headquarters in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, for researchers from AMP LAB (Advanced Mobility Power Lab), led by Professor Sung-wook Park of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Hanyang University. This follows a previous visit in February by researchers from UNICON LAB (Intelligent System Control Lab), led by Professor Chang-mook Kang of the Department of Electrical and Biomedical Engineering at the same university.
The visit was designed to broaden the foundation for practical cooperation by directly linking industrial sites with university research environments. On this day, ACEWORKS introduced its key business areas and focused on showcasing its Model-Based Design (MBD) control processes and Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation (HILS) technology. The company also shared its extensive experience in engine control and its mass-production plans for the defense sector.
The participating professors and researchers engaged in in-depth discussions regarding the research directions required in the industry. In particular, they reportedly showed great interest in the efficiency of HILS equipment, which allows for the testing of electronic components without the need for actual vehicle trials.
Practical fruits of this industry-academic cooperation for talent nurturing are also emerging. A student who joined through Hanyang University’s field placement program is currently working at ACEWORKS. Beyond simple field visits, the company is steadily building a collaborative model that leads to joint research, internships, and recruitment. This represents a win-win model that provides students with opportunities to develop practical skills while enabling the company to discover outstanding talent early on.
An official from ACEWORKS stated, “The visit from Professor Sung-wook Park’s team was a meaningful time to deeply understand the areas of interest of university laboratories,” and added, “We will continue to expand the exchange of technology and talent in the future.”
