The core scientific question, experimental strategy, and much of the intellectual development were initiated by&nbsp;Jaehoon Park&nbsp;himself. This recognition is therefore a testament not only to the quality of the science, but also to his growth as an independent researcher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As supervisors, we provide guidance, resources, and an environment in which research can flourish. However, truly impactful research emerges when talented young researchers develop their own ideas, pursue them with determination, and create new knowledge through their efforts. This work is an excellent example of that process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations, Jaehoon, on this well-deserved achievement. I am delighted to see your originality, dedication, and scientific curiosity recognized by the international metallurgy community, and I look forward to seeing your future contributions to sustainable metallurgy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"844\" src=\"https:\/\/www.melts.kyushu-u.ac.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/89735.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.melts.kyushu-u.ac.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/89735.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.melts.kyushu-u.ac.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/89735-300x264.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.melts.kyushu-u.ac.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/89735-768x675.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Details are here (Linkedin of Prof. Saito)\uff1ahttps:\/\/x.gd\/GlE9G I am delighted to share that our paper, &#8220;Carbonation Behavior of BOF Slag Governed by Composition-Driven Phase Chemistry&#8221; has been selected as an\u00a0Editor&#8217;s Choice\u00a0article in the\u00a0Journal of Sustainable Metallurgy\u00a0(Springer Nature \/ TMS).\ud83d\udcc4 Paper: Here\ud83d\udce2 Editor&#8217;s Choice Announcement: Here Editor\u2019s Choice articles represent only a very small percentage of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_locale":"en_US","_original_post":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-298","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-research","en-US"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.melts.kyushu-u.ac.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/298","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.melts.kyushu-u.ac.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.melts.kyushu-u.ac.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.melts.kyushu-u.ac.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.melts.kyushu-u.ac.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=298"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.melts.kyushu-u.ac.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/298\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":301,"href":"https:\/\/www.melts.kyushu-u.ac.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/298\/revisions\/301"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.melts.kyushu-u.ac.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=298"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.melts.kyushu-u.ac.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=298"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.melts.kyushu-u.ac.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=298"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
