Choi Sung-jin, a professor at Kookmin University’s School of Electrical Engineering, has been named to the 2026 World’s Top 2% Scientists list jointly released by Stanford University and Elsevier. The university said Choi has been included in the list for six consecutive years. The list identifies the top 2 percent of researchers in their respective fields based on a comprehensive analysis of research impact, including citation metrics and research output, using data from Elsevier’s Scopus database. The list covers two categories: “career-long,” which measures a researcher’s cumulative citation impact throughout their career, and “single-year,” which reflects citation impact in 2025. Choi was included in both categories in the 2026 edition. In applied physics, he ranks among the top 1.3 percent of researchers based on career-long impact and the top 0.9 percent based on single-year impact. He has also demonstrated sustained academic influence, with more than 25,000 citations and an h-index of 70 or higher, according to Google Scholar. The h-index measures research productivit
