A Day in the Lab
In this laboratory, seminars are held twice a week, and there are no core hours. Students can cultivate independence and creativity by developing and executing their own research plans. Additionally, with many international students enrolled, it is a very global laboratory where you can learn about foreign perspectives and cultures by sharing daily life, such as serving each other traditional dishes.
The members have a good relationship, and there are events such as birthday parties for Prof. Nakayama and farewell parties for international and graduating students.
