OIST Mini Symposium - Talk 13 | Organizing unit: Quantum Machines Unit (Jason Twamley) | Website | Register here (Open to the scientific community (registration required))

For the past 20 years, Japan has been lagging behind in the transformation of industrial structures through disruptive innovations that have emerged in various parts of the world. In the past, Japan has produced many innovative technologies in high-tech industries and materials, but it is starting to lose sight of the importance of "science and technology" in the rush of businesses.

However, unexpected technologies can only be produced with advancement of science and technology linked to information about markets, businesses, and products. For this reason, reboot of science and technology is a must.

So, what is required for Japan to lead the world again? What does it take for Japan to regain its strength in science and technology?

To find solutions to this major issue, a total of 12 great minds will meet to share their "knowledges.” These members include Dr. Kazuto Ataka, the author of the best-selling book "Shin Nihon (New Japan)," a Nobel Laureate in Physics, Dr. Takaaki Kajita, Dr. Hiroaki Kitano of Sony Computer Science Laboratories, and Dr. Peter Gruss, President of Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST).

The key people from industry, government, and academia will meet at the three-day online conference to discuss issues.

In this third meeting, John Parker will present "a beginner's introduction to category theory from a fellow beginner". This Journal Club is for people interested in Functional Programming, Category Theory and related fields. Maybe you know a some Haskell, maybe you’ve heard of monads or the Yoneda Lemma, or maybe you’d like to learn about these things. We will meet every two weeks (approximately) on Tuesdays from 4 to 5PM. Registration not required. The session will be visible on Zoom . You can also join us Category Theorists nerds on Slack .

Learn how to call a taxi, give directions to a location, and describe a place with simple adjectives, all in Japanese.

Assistant Professor Yi-Hsuan Lin , National Chiao Tung Universiy　 Title: Inverse problems for semilinear elliptic equations Abstract:

We introduce a method for solving Calder ́on type inverse problems forsemilinear equations. The method is based on higher order linearizations, and it allows one to solve inverse problems for certain nonlinear equations in cases where the solution for a corresponding linear equation is not known.

The "Science Project for Ryukyu Girls Science Camp" that began in 2014 was re-named "HiSci Lab" in 2021.

In order to support the advancement of women into the STEM field, we encourage female high school students in Okinawa Prefecture to continue their education in STEM.

Female researchers from Okinawa Prefecture who are active both inside and outside the prefecture will have the opportunity to pass on knowledge and convey the joys of science. In addition to lectures, students will have the opportunity to learn through workshops with　PhD students and Post-Doctoral researchers at OIST.

Science Challenge is coming back fully online!

OIST Science Challenge workshop will be providing participants with a unique opportunity to extend their scientific education and experience research. We also offer valuable information and tips to help them prepare for a doctoral program. Through a series of activities with faculty, postdocs, as well as with PhD students, the participants will learn about research conducted at OIST, and skills needed to survive and enjoy a PhD life. At the end of the workshop, participants will be asked to present a submitted slide presentation on the theme "Transcending Borders" in light of their experience throughout the week. The presentation will be shared with the OIST community.
