The On-line Electric Vehicle

Nam P. Suh is the author of seven books (by Oxford University Press, McGraw Hill, Prentice Hall) and about 300 papers. He also received about 100 patents. He is the recipient of many awards from scholarly and professional organizations, including the ASME Medal, the General Pierre Nicolau Award, Ho-Am Prize, the Hills Millennium Award, the Mensforth International Gold Medal, and many others. He received nine honorary degrees (CMU, KTH, The Technion, UMass, WPI, UQ of Australia, NLisboa, Babes-Bolyai University, Bilkent University, Universidade Nova de Lisboa. MIT established the Nam Pyo Suh Professorship in Mechanical Engineering at MIT with the major gift donated by Mr. Hock Tan, CEO, Avago, Inc. (2015). Dong-Ho Cho is the author of several book chapters (by CRC, River Publishers Series in Communications, SAE International). He has published more than 444 scientific publications in international journals and conferences. He holds over 597 patents. He received major awards such as Presidential Citation and Red Stripes Order of Service Merit from the Korean government for his contribution in the area of advanced mobile communication and wireless power transfer technology. In addition, for the major contribution to the development of on-line electric vehicle (OLEV) system, he was selected as a pioneer among 100 persons in Korea by the Dong-A daily newspaper in Korea. He also worked as an official adviser at Ministry of Information and Communication from 2003 to 2007. At KAIST, he was a KT chair professor from 2008 to 2013, and the ICC (IT Convergence Campus) vice president of KAIST from 2011 to 2013. He was the president of Korean Institute of Communications and Information Sciences (KICS) in 2014.
