2017 - March Science Challenge - What is Your Science Dream?
Also this year during the OIST Science Challenge the TQM unit gave Japanese college students a glance into the multifaceted world of Quantum Phenomena. After setting up the frame for modern Quantum Physics with a historical introduction by Prof. Nic Shannon, Kimberly Remund - a 1st year PhD student at OIST - showed why and how electromagnetism leads to the formulation of Quantisation and Quantum mechanics. After an introduction to Superconductivity by Rico Pohle - 5th year PhD student at OIST - the presentations ended with the highlight of the program: a hand-on session on real superconductors, able to levitate just a few centimeters above very strong magnets.
2016 - March Science Challenge
The OIST Science Challenge offered a highly diverse program for college students from all over Japan. Part of the schedule were explanations and experiments of many particle physics, here demonstrated by Dr. Karim Essafi and Dr. Ludovic Jaubert. At the last day Rico Pohle also joined the curious students in a Questions and Answers session (lower right picture).
2016 - 01 - 19 Science at the Onna Junior High
Dr. Ludovic Jaubert (in red) is teaching low temperature physics and its importance in superconductivity to high school students of the Onna Junior High in Okinawa, Japan.
2015 - 11 - 08 Open Campus of OIST
A whole day of science with more than 5000 visitors at the Open Campus 2015 of OIST. While Dr. Ludovic Jaubert and Rico Pohle presented low temperature phenomena in superconductivity (upper picture), Christina Lee (red T-shirt in background of lower-right picture) explained various minerals to the local community.
2015 - 03 - 12 Science Challenge
At the Science Challenge 2015 more than 20 graduate and undergraduate students from Japan and abroad came to visit OIST and spend one week learning about science and networking. One part of this great event was the participation in a specialized-subject talk, here: Science in superconductivity, taught by Dr. Ludovic Jaubert and Rico Pohle. (for further details see here)
2013 - 08 - 21 SCORE! program
OIST graduate student presentations with the title "How did I end up with science?" to share background, experience and motivation to High school students from Okinawa. (presented by Lashmi Piriya Ananda Babu (in green, PhD student in the Cellular and Molecular Synaptic Function Unit) and Rico Pohle (in red, PhD student in the Theory of Quantum Matter Unit))
