Study in USA: 2- and 6-month courses from August 2017

Research Internship

The students had research internship at laboratories of University of Michigan and UCLA. They worked on the specific research projects under their supervisors at each university.
They wrote a research report and gave the final presentation at the workshops that took place at Nagoya University after they came back. The presentation was evaluated by each Nagoya adviser while the report was evaluated by each supervisor at UM/UCLA. 2-4 credits were awarded from Nagoya University depending on their results.

Workshops

The short-term course Tange’s presentation took place at a Matsumoto Lab’ research meeting on September 29, 2017. For nine students of the medium-term course, the 21st JUACEP Workshop was held on February 27, 2018. They presented on each research project and achievement and were evaluated by their Nagoya advisers.
