Thank You!

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the attendants of iSIMSC-2 for their participation and support.

This symposium had a total of 107 attendants, 8 invited lectures, 4 student presentations, and 52 poster presentations.

The symposium would not have been successful without your kind support.

We look forward to seeing all of you again at our next International Symposium of Interactive Material Science Cadet Program.

 

Student Research Winners

Four students from the IMSC student body were chosen to give oral presentations at the symposium based on their submitted abstracts. For the outstanding quality of their research, these students were given Student Research Awards. The recipients’ names and presentation titles are as follows:

Hiroki Ueda “Chirality Control by Compressive Stress in Ferroelastic Chiral Crystal”

Kohei Yamagami “Relationship between Dimensionality of Electronic Structure and Transition Temperature for Cuprates Superconductor”

Daisuke Ogura “Two-Particle Self-Consistent Analysis for the Electron-Hole doping Asymmetry of Superconductivity in Cuprate Superconductors”

Greeting

On behalf of the organizing committee, we are pleased to announce the Osaka University Program for Leading Graduate Schools “Interactive Materials Science Cadet Program (IMSC)” will host the 2nd International Symposium on Interactive Materials Science Cadet Program (iSIMSC), to be held at Senri-Hankyu Hotel, Osaka, Japan on November 18th and 19th, 2015. The IMSC program is designed to apply the synergistic benefits of dialogic and interactive approaches to various facets of materials science education and research. In the context of the program, this symposium aims to promote communication and collaboration among researchers and students in various fields of materials science and to advance their research activities. This year’s symposium centers around “perovskites and perovskite-related” compounds, and consists of invited lectures by leading researchers in various research topics such as superconductivity, correlated electron systems, solar cells, and materials design by first-principles. Furthermore, students of IMSC also give presentations (oral or poster), hold discussions with participants including invited lecturers, and obtain a wide range of perspectives to become future leaders in materials research and industrial fields.

We look forward to seeing you in Osaka in November.

Yours sincerely,

Student Chairman of iSIMSC-2, Shota Takamuku
Chairman of iSIMSC-2, Tsuyoshi Kimura
