| Sep | 18 | 25 | From September 16 to 18, Mr. Gunjo Miyawaki from Kagoshima College, National
Institute of technology joined us for a three-day internship, considering
application to the College Cooperative Program. Together with the laboratory
members, he conducted experiments on visible-light sensing using diamond. |

| Sep | 10 | 25 | The Autumn Meeting of the Japan Society of Applied Physics was held at Meijo University from September 7 to 10. Presentations were mainly given by the M2 students—Mr. Ikeyama, Mr. Shiraga, Mr. Misono, and Mr. Watanabe—as well as Mr. Ikegami (M1). This year’s extreme heat made the travel very exhausting. | |||
| Aug | 22 | 25 | From Monday, August 18 to Friday, August 22, a summer school was held in
collaboration with National Sun Yat-sen University, Feng Chia University,
National University of Tainan, and our Graduate School of Science and Engineering.
During the first three days, participants were divided into several laboratories
to conduct research training. Our laboratory hosted five students, who
gained hands-on experience in evaluating diamond as a chemical electrode.
The training was led by Assistant Professor Narakino, with support provided
by Mr. Sotozono (M2) and Mr. Watanabe (M2).   Professor Yoshitake gave one of the three morning lectures held over the three days.   On the fourth day, oral presentations were held as part of the workshop. From our laboratory, Professor Yoshitake, Mr. Misono (M2), and Mr. Shiraga (M2) each gave a 20-minute oral presentation.     On the final day, poster presentations were held as part of the workshop. From our laboratory, Mr. Sotozono (M2), Mr. Ikeyama (M2), and Mr. Watanabe (M2) presented their work. We are pleased to report that Mr. Watanabe received the Outstanding Poster Presentation Award.    |

The 18th International Conference on New Diamond and Nanocarbon (NDNC2025)
was held at Beacon Plaza in Beppu from May 11 to 15, 2025. As the conference
was held in Kyushu, our laboratory contributed to its operation as well
as presenting our research.         |
||||||
| May | 10 | 25 | Today, an open campus event was held at the Chikushi Campus. An event related
to diamonds was held on the first floor of Building D. Many students will
be participating in an international conference in Beppu starting tomorrow,
so B4 and M1 students were mainly in charge of running the event. |

| Mar | 25 | 25 | The degree conferment ceremony was held today. From our laboratory, three students in the Major of Device Science and Engineering completed their master's programs. Two thesis students from the Department of Interdisciplinary Engineering and one thesis student from the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science graduated. (Mr. Katsura (M2) and Mr. Ishimatsu (B4) could not make it in time for the following photo shoot.)  Mr. Ikegami (B4) was awarded as the top student in the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Course of the Department of Interdisciplinary Engineering.  In the evening, we moved to a sushi/shabu-shabu restaurant near the university to celebrate the graduation.     |

| Feb | 25 | 25 | As part of our yearly graduation trip, we went to Itsukushima on a day
trip. We couldn't climb to the top of Mt. Misen because the ropeway was
being fixed, but we were able to take our time and look around Itsukushima.
We ate delicious okonomiyaki with oysters and beer there!   |

|||
| Feb | 17 | 24 | A farewell party was held at a restaurant near the campus for Natakorn
(a short-term visiting student from King Mongkut's University of Technology)
and Mostafa (a special research student from EJUST) before they returned
to their home countries. We took a joyful time eating delicious meals.   |
