Mrs. Taehyun Lee | Behavioral Economics | Research Excellence Award

Korea University | South Korea

Mrs. Taehyun Lee is an economist specializing in policy analysis and impact evaluation, with over five years of experience in public expenditure review, labor market policies, and quantitative monitoring of government interventions. She is currently a permanent researcher at the Korea Employment Information Service, leading research at the Youth Policy Center and previously at the National Work Programs & KLoSA Panel Team. Her work focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of nationwide vocational training, direct job creation programs, and social support initiatives for marginalized populations, applying advanced econometric methods such as Propensity Score Matching and Cox Proportional Hazards models to large-scale administrative and survey datasets. Mrs. Lee has contributed to international comparative studies, engaging scholars from China, Sweden, the U.S., and Europe, and has co-authored several high-impact publications, including ESI highly cited papers. She holds an M.A. in Economics (Labor Economics) from Sogang University, a B.A. in Philosophy and International Studies from Ewha Womans University, and is a Ph.D. candidate in Psychology at Korea University, focusing on behavioral insights for policy and economic decision-making. She has received recognition for research excellence, including the Excellent Paper Award from the Korea Social Science Data Archive, and has successfully led cross-national research collaborations. Her work significantly informs evidence-based policy design for labor markets and social protection systems.

Prof. Dr. Frédéric Ouattara | Spatial Data Interpretation | Excellence in Research

Université Norbert Zongo | Burkina Faso

Professor Frédéric Ouattara is a distinguished full professor of physics, specialising in heliophysics, thermodynamics, space weather and geophysics. He holds a Doctorat d’État in Physics-Geophysics-Heliophysics (2009) and a previous PhD in Geophysics (option Solar Energy, 1998), complemented with a Master in History, Philosophy and Didactics of Sciences (2005) and a Diploma of Advanced Studies in Physics (1994). He has served in major academic and administrative roles, including Vice-President in charge of Teaching and Pedagogic Innovation, then President of Université Norbert Zongo (2019-2022), and Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research (March–September 2022) in Burkina Faso. In research, he leads the Burkina Faso satellite programme (BurkinaSat-1) and initiated the national space agency, while directing the Laboratory of Analytical Chemistry, Space Physics and Energetic (LAREME).  His scholarly output includes around one hundred scientific publications. He has been honoured with the African Prize for Excellence in Space Physics Research (American Geophysical Union, 2018). Although a precise current h-index 11, publications 28 , citations 590, his research reputation is significant in the West-African region. With primary interests in solar–terrestrial coupling, ionospheric variability and space weather over equatorial Africa, he bridges scientific research, space technology and higher-education leadership. As a conclusion, Prof. Ouattara exemplifies the synthesis of academic excellence, leadership in space science and institutional innovation, having positioned his country on the frontier of African space research and education.
