On March 24, 2021, we held a farewell party for the members who graduated. The members graduating this year are Tetsuya Sasaoka, Hiroyuki Matsuda, and Takuya Edamoto.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we did not hold a meal gathering. Instead, we conducted the usual ceremony of awarding original certificates and presenting gifts, with mask-wearing and alcohol hand sanitizing in place.
This year was a challenging one as most research meetings, discussions, and lectures were conducted online, resulting in a significant shift in the style of student life. Despite this, I would like to sincerely congratulate them on successfully completing their studies and graduating.
