[Call for Registration] Ryudai-OIST Joint Symposium

Ryudai-OIST Joint Symposium

This symposium brings together researchers from the University of the Ryukyus School of Medicine and OIST to share their research and explore opportunities for scientific exchange.
By fostering interactions across institutions and disciplines, the event aims to strengthen connections, encourage collaboration, and promote the development of new research partnerships.
All researchers and students from the University of the Ryukyus and OIST are welcome to participate, and attendees are invited to present their work during the poster session.

Droplet Physics Across Scales for Energy and Sustainability

Droplet Physics Across Scales for Energy and Sustainability

This workshop brings together the Droplet and Soft Matter Unit (Daniel Unit, OIST) and the Mouterde Group (University of Tokyo) to develop a unified understanding of droplet physics across length scales, from the nanometric to the millimetric regime. Droplet phenomena inherently span multiple scales: nanoscale interfacial processes govern wetting, transport, and dissipation, while micrometric and millimetric droplets exhibit complex hydrodynamic, electrostatic, and multiphase behaviors. Bridging these regimes remains a major challenge in soft matter and fluid physics.

TSVP Talk: "Universality in Eigenvalue/vector Distributions of Random Tensors" by Naoki Sasakura

Eigenvalues/vectors of tensors are a modern concept extending those of matrices. They appear in various non-linear contexts, such as spin glasses, general relativity, artificial intelligence, quantum information theory, string theory, and so on, while the matrix counterpart in linear-contexts. Understanding universal properties across various tensor eigen problems is important, since this assures their wide applicability. I talk about our recent finding of a universality of tensor eigenvalue/vector distributions, which has been achieved by systematically computing them using quantum field theoretical techniques.
