Our lab student, Ammar Ghous, organized an excellent party at Atithi Toyohashi. We welcomed four new students and said goodbye to one student. It was a memorable night. Enjoy life in Toyohashi! We wish you all the best!
My first time joining Toyohashi Festival’s So-odori. We danced 4 songs repeatedly on the main street in front of the station. I didn’t know the steps but learned by watching others. I enjoyed dancing together with people from all over town.
Some groups were strict, while our group was relaxed – reminds me of our lab’s atmosphere. It’s always a challenge to find the right balance between structure and flexibility.
We submitted two papers to an international conference. My best work (top 3!) was accepted for oral presentation! 🎉
Unfortunately, a former student’s paper (ranked 10th) was rejected 😥. I underestimated the revisions; 3 hours wasn’t enough. Getting this level accepted would prove our capability.
This motivates me to improve my conceptual diagram skills for future submissions. 💪
大学での研究も、この神輿担ぎと似ている。最先端の設備、貴重な試薬、優秀な人材というリソースを使える特権がある。これらは研究者だけが味わえる特別な体験である。ぜひこの特権を活かし、当事者にしか分からない研究の面白さを体験してください。 Last weekend, I carried a mikoshi through town to the shrine. Though initially self-conscious, we paraded down streets with flutes and firecrackers – a festival-day exclusive. The excitement was like running a marathon on closed roads, a unique thrill for participants. I’d do it again.
University research is similar. We have the privilege of using cutting-edge equipment, valuable reagents, and collaborating with talented individuals. These experiences are unique to researchers. I encourage you to embrace this privilege and experience the excitement that only those involved can truly understand.
The other day, I couldn’t find saury for 300 yen, so I had to make do with horse mackerel. However, my craving for saury didn’t go away.
Finally, a 100-yen opportunity appeared. I grilled and ate two of them, and they had a deeper flavor than the mackerel—it was fantastic. The Saury🐟Revengers (SauReve) mission was accomplished!
Just as with finding discounted saury, persistence in research often leads to fortunate discoveries. Keeping an open mind can also reveal interesting new perspectives on a problem.
On my way home from university, goldenrod spreads along the roadside. Towering above human height, its sight captivates me. This weed is incredibly vigorous. But if only this flourishes, there’s no room for other flowers to bloom.
Suddenly, I wonder if the human world is similar. A place with diverse people is surely more interesting.
We’re thrilled to welcome Lakshmi (left) and Donia (right) from IIT Madras for a 3-month stay! Short-term research in a new environment is challenging, but their perseverance and enthusiasm have energized our lab!
I’m enjoying the expanded research scope and cultural exchange. Wishing them a great stay!
A side note during my manufacturing class: In college, I admired aerospace but couldn’t fully commit. I wonder if my friends felt the same? Back then, there wasn’t even a lab for medical devices.
I discovered potential and interest in biology. Now, I’m creating machines using cells. Not finding your passion right away can be an opportunity. It might lead you to pioneer new fields!
This is our lab’s group photo from October 2024. There are 30 people here, though not everyone could make it.
I’m moved to see so many young faces gathered today. It would be wonderful if we could reunite like this after graduation. That depends on my actions, doesn’t it?
I’m looking forward to seeing everyone’s future accomplishments.
I run around the university even in the rain. Now I love running, but when did this start?
The process was actually: running → gaining knowledge → developing a liking for it. My research followed a similar pattern: conducting research → gaining expertise → developing a passion for it. In other words, diving in to learn the content first is correct from a behavioral economics perspective.
