Shinichi Aizawa is Professor Emeritus at the Prefectural University of Hiroshima currently visiting OIST through the Visiting Program (TSVP). He is considered one of the world’s foremost experts in the structure and function of bacterial flagella. His contributions to solving flagellar polymorphism are very highly regarded, and his book “The Flagellar World” has become a standard textbook in the field.

5th Japan SciCom Forum (JSF) Conference will be held on November 21-22, 2023 at the OIST. After the previous two editions were held online due to COVID-19, we are very excited to have all attendees on the OIST campus in person for the 2023 edition. Registration is closed. The details are on the website: https://www.japansci.com/conference/jsf23

Speaker: Dr. Oliver Bellwood

Target Audience: Intern, Students, PostDocs, and those who are interested in the same research field.

This in-person interactive workshop is for graduate students, post-docs, and other researchers. This ICOGS* workshop is offered by the Georgia Tech Effective Team Dynamics Initiative and will be facilitated by Prof Mary Lynn Realff (MSE). * (ICOGS) Interdisciplinary Collaboration for Graduate Students Working as part of a team, or group, comes with both benefits and challenges. The benefits include interacting with people who bring different viewpoints, expertise and experiences to the table. However, the challenges include communicating effectively with people who have different backgrounds and dealing constructively with conflict due to different viewpoints. The workshop will explore how diversity in a team can strengthen it, different approaches to dealing with conflict, how to have a “difficult conversation” with both peers and your supervisor, and strategies for avoiding communications problems. Take home tools to improve your team skills will be provided.

Seminar by Kalle Parvinen, University Research Fellow at the University of Turku, Finland (All are welcome to attend).

Seminar: "The nitrogen-vacancy centers: from fundamentals to applications" by Prof. Keigo Arai (Tokyo Institute of Technology)

The nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond have been gaining interest as a unique quantum platform for quantum sensing, communication, and simulation. This platform's notable advantages include its long coherence times and high-fidelity controllability, and it can be operated under a wide range of temperatures and pressures. In this talk, I will introduce a selection of research activities at Tokyo Institute of Technology, covering magnetocardiography, topological simulation, and material science under extreme conditions.
