On January 12th and 13th, iCeMS and NanoLSI held a joint symposium. A total of 170 researchers and students participated in the two-day online symposium. This symposium was held for the second time beginning in 2019 to strengthen the collaboration between the two WPI institutes.
Opening remarks by Dr. Toru Nakano (iCeMS Academy Officer) and Dr. Akihiko Nakano (NanoLSI Program Officer) on the significance of holding the joint symposium. The introductions of institutes by the two directors, Director Susumu Kitagawa of iCeMS, and Director Takeshi Fukuma of NanoLSI kicked off the symposium.
The theme of this year was “Nanometrology and Advanced Materials,” and researchers specializing in nanometrology and supramolecular chemistry were invited to speak, leading to lively discussions in all sessions.
