The Community Cooking Series aims to bring the OIST community and residents of Onna closer through a shared love of food. Each session will be focused on one dish, taught by someone with a personal connection to the recipe (perhaps you?).

Prof Tim Taminiau from QuTech in Delft, Netherlands, is an experimentalists who studies the use of defects in diamond continaing electron and nuclear spins for quantum technology. In this talk he will discuss recent progress in controlling such electron-nuclear spin systems for quantum networks and for distributed quantum computations and simulations.

A faculty-Grad School discussion on the use of AI tools in higher education .

OIST Neuroscience Club is excited to host Prof. Jimmy Dooley from the department of biological sciences, Purdue University, USA. If you are interested in knowing how slight twitchy movements during your sleep in your infancy shape your brain, make sure to join the seminar!
