  • Recent Topics

    • Dec. 23, 2006:Profs. H. Fukuyama, J. Akimitu and others visited Okayama University in order to join the X-mas Workshop on X-ray spectroscopy as well as diffraction.
    • Feb. 19, 2007: Prof. J. Kanamori visited us to give a talk at Okayama University, which was concerned with the role for university people how to cultivate their graduate students. It was really useful for us.
    • Apr.6, 2007: Profs. J. Mizuki and Y. Okabe visited Okayama University in order to join the workshop on“Initiatives for Attractive Education in Graduate School”: Creating an environment for systematic fundamental science education. They evaluated our activities up to now.
    • April 5, 2007:Prof. H.-J Mikeska（Hannover Uni．) visited us as a vice-superviser of Mr. Miyazaki and evaluated his PhD activities up to now.
    • April 21-29, 2007: As a chief of the Japan team for International Physics Olympiad (IPhO), I visited Asian Phsics Olympiad held in Shanghai as an observer. With the aid of a volunteer, a talented Chinese student, Miss Li Lin, I enjoyed the discussions on the theoretical and experimental problems of physics as well as excursions. These were tremendous experiences for me and must be an origin for me to take such a volunteering work in future.
