Hello! I’m Nomura, a first-year master’s student.
I attended COOL Chips 28, held from April 16 to 18, together with Jin.
At COOL Chips, research presentations and discussions mainly focused on computer hardware.
The poster and panel sessions, in particular, were lively and full of engaging discussions, and I had the opportunity to hear many fascinating talks.
I hope to apply the knowledge and experiences I gained through this conference to further advance my research!
Hello, this is Taniwasa, a second-year master’s student.
Our lab seminars have recently started!
With the beginning of this academic year’s lab activities, new fourth-year undergraduate members have also joined us!
I’m sure there are still many things we don’t understand about research, so let’s learn together!
Hello! I’m Tanizawa, now a second-year master’s student (M2) as of this academic year!
The other day, our lab members went out for cherry blossom viewing. Although it was a bit early for full bloom, the weather was wonderful and we could really feel the warmth of spring!
The yakisoba wrapped in an omelet that I bought from a food stall was delicious!
Let’s all do our best together with our new members in this new academic year!
Hello, this is Imai, a first-year master’s student.
From March 17 to 19, I attended the 198th High-Performance Computing Workshop and the 14th Quantum Software Workshop Joint Research Presentation, which was held in Sapporo.
Under the guidance of Professor Kawai, I participated in the conference along with Nomura (M1) and had the opportunity to experience the atmosphere of the academic event firsthand.
There were a wide range of presentations, from professors at various universities to students of the same academic year, and I found them all very interesting.
I sincerely appreciate all those involved for providing us with such a valuable opportunity.
I will take this experience as motivation to further dedicate myself to my research!
Hello, I’m Imai, and I will be starting my first year of a master’s program in April.
On March 25th, I attended my graduation ceremony and degree conferment ceremony. It feels deeply moving to realize that my undergraduate life has come to an end.
From April, the senior students who have supported me will no longer be around, while new third-year students will be joining. I want to set a good example for my juniors and approach my research with a fresh mindset, striving to do my best.
My name is Masatoshi Kawai, and I joined the faculty as of March 1.
My research focuses on optimization, large-scale parallelization, dynamic load balancing, and auto-tuning, with a primary emphasis on linear computation algorithms.
Skiing is my hobby, so I was looking forward to my first assignment in the Tohoku region.
I look forward to working with you all.
Hello! I’m Ryota Koda, a second-year master’s student.
I attended the 2025 Conference on Advanced Topics and Auto Tuning in High-Performance Scientific Computing (ATAT2025), held from March 21 to 22!
From Takizawa Lab, Professor Takizawa, Shubham, and I presented our research.
The following co-authored paper with Assistant Professor Muhammad Alfian Amrizal and his team from Gadjah Mada University, Indonesia, has received the Best Paper Award at Supercomputing Asia 2025.
3/12 Best paper award at Supercomputing Asia 2025
The following co-authored paper with University of Gajah Mada in Indonesia (Dr. Muhammad Alfian Amrizal et al.) won the best paper award at Supercomputing Asia 2025.
Hello! I’m Ryota Koda, a second-year master’s student.
From March 10 to March 13, I participated in SCA2025, which was held in Singapore.
At SCA2025, researchers in the HPC field from across the Asia region gathered, and talks were given on cutting-edge technologies such as generative AI and quantum computing.
Additionally, the ceremony for last year’s APAC HPC/AI Competition was held!
This year, Shubham and I are planning to participate in the APAC HPC/AI Competition.
At the end of the conference, Professor Takizawa took the stage to introduce SCA/HPCAsia 2026, which will be held in Osaka next year!
I’ll keep working hard to produce great research results and participate again next year!
Hello, this is Tanizawa, an M1 student.
The other day, we held a farewell party for Mr. Cui , which also served as the year-end gathering for the 2024 academic year.
Next year, new members will be joining, and our structure will change significantly. We will continue to do our best so that we can make our departing senior proud!
