OIST-Keio Showcase Talk Series Vol. 11: Resonance Matters - Micro-Optical Resonators for Quantum, Bio, and Energy Applications

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.

Public Lecture:"The Science of Creamy Cacio e Pepe" by Daniel Busiello

Title: The Science of Creamy Cacio e Pepe
タイトル：「クリーミーなカチョ・エ・ペペの科学」

Abstract:

Cacio e pepe is one of Italy's most popular pasta dishes, but even (Italian) scientists often fail to prepare the perfect creamy sauce.
Daniel Maria Busiello, a physicist at the University of Padua, also struggled with this—until he had had enough of random trial and error, and approached the problem scientifically.
Together with colleagues (all Italian) from the Max Planck Institute in Dresden, the Institute of Science and Technology Austria, and the University of Barcelona, he set out to uncover the secret of the perfect sauce so that it would turn out right every time.

Mirror Lab Symposium: Frontiers in Recent Human Evolution

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.
