Research: Theory and practice of designing estimators in bioinformatics
濱田 道昭准教授

Associate Professor Hamada’s Comments:

I feel very honored to receive the Young Researcher Award.

4 years have passed since I established the School of Advanced Science and Engineering in April 2014. I would like to thank all my fellow researchers and students, not forgetting the professors in Waseda University for the support they have given.

I will continue to devote myself to research that would contribute to the society at large. In particular, I hope to produce research that would serve as a bridge between theoretical study and applied research in the field of life science.

Associate Professor Atsushi Hosoi, Faculty of Science and Engineering

Research: Evaluating fatigue damage of structural materials and developing technology to heal fatigue crack

Research: Scientific experiment classrooms for elementary school students to promote science and technology
伊藤 正徳、齋藤 泰秀、細井 肇、柿下 尚哉、島田 剛

Overall Comments:

I feel so honored to receive this award after celebrating the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the university science laboratory, Uni-Lab.

Even though only five of us received the award, many other people such as the students, professors and staff had also contributed to this success.

I hope that I will be able to contribute more to education and research at Waseda University and cultivate greater interests among elementary and junior high school students in science and technology.
