We are happy to welcome a new member from Brazil, Mr. Thiago Chuba!! Thiago is a MEXT scholarship student who is trying to enter the Graduate School in Kyoto University. Thiago has a research background of mechanical engineering and biomedical engineering, which would drive our chemistry to more fascinating applications. Welcome, Thiago!! ブラジルから新メンバー（Thiago Negrão Chuba）が加わりました。Thiagoはサンパウロ大学出身の文部科学省奨学生で、京大の大学院へ秋からの入学を目指しています。一足先に技術員として参加してもらうことになりました。Thiagoは工学系出身で、またMBAも持っている多彩なバックグランドを持つ留学生です。古川グループでは、そこに化学のエッセンスを足すことで、個性的な研究者になってもらいたいと思っています。特に、我々の基礎科学を新しい応用につなげていく課題を担当します。どんな応用研究ができるのか楽しみです！

We were pleased to host the visit of Mr. Simon Krause from Technical University of Dresden (the group of Prof. Stefan Kaskel) and to organize his lecture at iCeMS. Though Simon was travelling around Japan for his holidays, he was so kind to accept our offer to give a lecture on his recent discovery of…

Mr. Shuya Ikemura left the group after getting his master degree. Ikemura worked on the project of CO-releasing materials for gas biology applications and did a great effort to develop new amorphous materials. He moved to the chemistry industry in April. Thanks Ikemura for your wonderful work! We will shortly summarize the research in a…
