Performance Review Meeting was held and Mr. Kamura, Mr. Yamada and Mr. Wakafuji, 4th year undergraduates, gave presentations!
It was the first time for them to make public presentations of their researches, so all three looked nervous.
The Question-and-answer session was as short as two minutes, but they would have felt it like a very long time. Great job!
After Defense of doctoral thesis ended successfully, we held a wrap-up party for D3 & M2 students!
We had a drinking party in the lab for the first time in a while and we enjoyed chatting and exchanging opinions!
Now it's time for the fourth grader to make a final push for the performance review meeting, so please work hard after this party!
