International Workshop on Advanced Nanomaterials and Applications Held at Kochi University of Technology

On August 6, Kochi University of Technology (KUT) hosted the 3rd Advanced Nanomaterials and Applications International Workshop at its Kami Campus.

International Workshop

The workshop is part of a joint human resource development project with Florida International University, The US-Japan Collaborative Research and Education Effort for Synthesis and Applications of Functional Nanomaterials. Since its launch in 2023, the workshop has been held twice, fostering discussions across diverse fields such as electrical engineering, information engineering, mechanical engineering, and biomedical engineering, with a focus on the synthesis, characterization, and applications of functional materials.

This year, the workshop welcomed participation from four overseas universities, including the University of Miami. Six interns from the University of Miami joined the program and conducted a two-month research internship in six laboratories of the School of Systems Engineering, under the supervision of Professors Chaoyang Li, Hisao Makino, Hiroshi Furuta, Associate Professor Akihito Noda, and Assistant Professor Wang Liao.

During the workshop, the interns presented the outcomes of their research in poster sessions. Thirteen KUT students also delivered their research presentations in English, demonstrating their strong ability to communicate research findings in an international setting.

Faculty members from the United States highly praised the interns' achievements, noting the impressive quality of the research outcomes accomplished within just two months. Their remarks once again underscored the excellence of research guidance provided at KUT.

Through initiatives such as this workshop, academic ties between Japanese and U.S. universities are further strengthened, while promoting greater collaboration and exchange among researchers and students.
