Developing new technologies with creativity and scientific immersion<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"OLYMPUS<\/a><\/p>\n

The importance of verifying issues firsthand<\/span><\/h5>\n

I have been interested in energy and global environment issues since high school. Wanting to address these issues not as an outside critic, but as an industry insider, I decided to major in applied chemistry. As a student at Waseda, I not only obtained knowledge from lectures and textbooks, but also learned the importance of asking questions and verifying problems firsthand. In my fourth year, I was a member of a catalyst chemistry lab and became engrossed in research that required me to buy materials and build experimentation equipment from scratch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Waseda helped me develop a personal drive for innovation<\/span><\/h5>\n

After earning my master\u2019s degree, I thought about pursuing my PhD but decided to join Mitsui Chemicals because of my desire to address problems from within the industry. Currently, I am involved in the development of new technologies that will help lower manufacturing costs of components for automobiles and consumer electronics. Developing technologies for new fields is a challenge, but I find great satisfaction in creating new projects with team members. Waseda helped me develop a personal drive for innovation, which pushes me every day.<\/span><\/p>\n

A student life with true friendships<\/span><\/h5>\n

I made great friends at Waseda thanks to the university\u2019s diverse student body. It is important to have honest relationships and come to terms with your weaknesses. This is a huge step in getting to know what kind of person you are. Through these relationships, you will refine your knowledge, learn what kind of person you would like to become, and lead a fulfilling student life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
