Also, not only he is engaged in many other activities such as volunteering and lectures but also he has a wealth of experiences and knowledge of all specific, restricted field.

Research Content

At the Kamimura laboratory, we study about engineering includes snow and ice. Snow is a major obstacle for people living in snowy countries. Our laboratory has compiled damage data on snow and we research about how to prevent the disaster. On the other hand, snow and ice are also expected to used as a renewable energy resource (snow). Also, we develope guns that emit environment-friendly ice bullets to repel harmful birds. Research subjects unique to the world-class laboratory called Snow and Ice Engineering, each of which is working on research.

A Day in the Lab

No Core time
Our laboratory has no core time, so we can advance our research at our own pace. You can also focus on activities such as part-time job and school club.
Morning seminar
Every morning we do seminars from 8 o'clock. Contents are various. We do lightning talk and workshop for improving our research progress report and presentation skill, further study session of English etc.
Events
We have a lot of fun that performs various events every season such as cherry-blossom viewing in spring, fireworks display in summer, BBQ in fall, hot pot in winter. Also everybody in this Laboratory are all so friendly and talkative.

We are welcoming YOU!
