The Samsung HTP, sponsored by the Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., recognizes an elite cadre of creative young researchers who through competition have demonstrated excellence in research. Each year, over 1,500 papers were submitted, yet only a small percentage of papers are selected to receive this prestigious recognition. In this year, out of 2,105 excellent papers considered from high schools and universities, only 119 papers were selected to receive the awards.
