Featured in OIST news
Researchers show that a quantum sensor using a single atom can accurately measure the coldest places in the universe. Learn more from here.
J & J are going away
Feshly awarded PhDs Jiabao and James are off to new adventures (one each) and we will miss them dearly. They are equipped with all OIST had to offer and will, no doubt, be great ambassadors for Okinawa.
It is good to have a plan...
...when planning to defend your thesis work successfully. And (the now) Dr. Chen did just this. Congratulations Jiabao on impressive work and a successful final exam! The hat fits well.
No shortcuts....
...but hard work was the reason that Tim was able to successfully defend his thesis proposal in front of Prof. Brand from Massey University in New Zealand. Well done Tim!
Turning mathematicians...
