The second student seminar was held on Friday, November 8th. In this seminar, Kobayashi-san (M2), Sasaki-san (B4), and Takeda-san (B4) presented their research topics and their progress to date. It was a valuable opportunity to deepen our understanding of each research method, and it motivated me to work even harder on my research activities. The next seminar will be held next Friday.
The Okamura Cup kicked off this year! The Regional Planning and Information Lab is competing as the Transportation Team, a joint team with the Transportation Lab and the Landscape Lab. The preliminary A block consisted of three teams: the Transportaion Team, B3 Team, and the Bridge & Concrete Team, and they competed in a round-robin tournament. The Transportaion Team won both of their matches, and thus qualified in first place! In both games, Shimoda-kun, M1 student, pitched well. We look forward to seeing him again next time! The results of the games are as follows.
Match 1 (10/18): Transportation 8-7 B3 Match 2 (10/29): Transportation 9-4 Bridge & Concrete
Next game will be a semifinal game against a Geotechnical Engineering Team on 11/6. We will do our best to win!
On Tue. Oct 29, we held the first student seminar in A semester. After the instruction on the schedule and TeX, the editing tool, for the dissertation, I could obtain the image for how the graduation research proceeds afterwards. Also, as the schedule for the presentation was fixed, I am going to refresh my mind and work hard!!!
I went to collect data for my research with the help of Professor Fuse and the lab members. We collected point clouds data and photographs of land boundaries using a smartphone, and everyone was amazed at how the current smartphone apps can generate such clean 3D point cloud data, showing how much technology has advanced.
On Monday, October 7th, we held a welcome party for Peng-san, an international student from Qufu, China, the birthplace of Confucius. It was impressive to see him already enjoying conversations with other members, sparked by discussions about his research and the souvenirs he brought from China. I’m really looking forward to the activities in this lab with our new member!
