Resonance Matters - Micro-Optical Resonators for Quantum, Bio, and Energy Applications
This focused scientific meeting (Partnership Event) will bring together researchers from OIST and Keio University to explore recent advances in micro-optics resonators, with an emphasis on applications in quantum technologies and energy-related photonics.
Whispering-gallery resonators offer exceptional optical confinement and high quality factors, enabling strong light–matter interactions, nonlinear optical processes, and sensitive transduction mechanisms. These properties make WGMs a powerful platform for emerging quantum systems as well as for energy-relevant applications such as sensing, frequency conversion, and photonic energy management.

Mirror Lab Symposium: Frontiers in Recent Human Evolution
We will describe and discuss projects that explore genetic variants that emerged in the evolution of modern and archaic humans, and how such archaic variants affects humans today. We will also discuss projects that use ancient DNA to reconstruct the early peopling and history of the Japanese Archipelago. We will explore how we can intensify our collaborations in these areas and brainstorm about future research directions.
Date
The 10th OIST-Keio Joint Symposium brings together various perspectives on fluid dynamics, highlighting recent advances across theory, computation, and experiment. Through a series of focused talks and poster presentations, the event spans fundamental flow phenomena, complex and multiscale fluids, and engineering‑relevant applications. This 10th showcase continues a series of events bringing Keio and OIST researchers together to foster discussion and enable innovation through interdisciplinary collaboration.
