Alex received the Best Student Poster Award. Congratulations!
Since the symposium was held in Kyoto, Professor Kawamoto (Chair), myself (Minami), and Professors Miyafuji (a former faculty member of our lab, now a professor at Kyoto Prefectural University) and Hosoya (an alumnus of our lab, currently an associate professor at Kyoto Prefectural University) served as members of the organizing committee.
