Korean singer Lucid Fall (33) has obtained a doctor's degree in biotechnology in Switzerland, Yonhap news reported.

As a graduate of Seoul National University department of Chemical Engineering, Lucid Fall obtained his doctoral degree at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne by submitting a paper titled 'Polymeric Carriers for Therapeutic Agents: Drug and Gene Delivery Systems by RAFT Polymerization.'

According to his agency Antenna Music, Lucid Fall attracted the judge's attention for wearing the Korean traditional costume "hanbok" when presenting his paper. He was put into a greater spotlight after he was revealed as a singer in Korea.

Last year in November, Lucid Fall was awarded a scientific award by Swiss Chemical Society:SCS, the same month his third album "Night at the Border" was released.

"The research was so interesting that despite difficulties, I could work without any break," "I seem to have worked so hard and busy these past days that no thought occurs to me at this moment. I will start on the new album after finishing up my research project" said Lucid Fall.
