It is one of the core areas leading to intellectual 02 Research Center for Advanced 17 Graduate School production technology. The University of Aizu is seeking individuals who think Information Science and Technology （ CAIST） globally based in Aizu and take on new challenges in the field of computer science and engineering. Students’ Paths after Graduation The President and Chairperson of the Board of Executives, The Public University Corporation, The University of Aizu Ryuichi Oka, Ph.D. Campus Life University Vicinities Greeting from President Oka Choosing which undergraduate department of a university to enter is a very big decision for high school students. When it comes to deciding on your future, can you really afford to base your decision on current trends and information from your parents and teachers alone? Sometimes even the fields you feel you are suited for might not be what you imagined. Therefore, looking at the changes in technology and society in the last two decades, I believe that now is a good time to rethink what is truly important when it comes to designing your own future. Through its superior promise and productivity, the field of information technology has rapidly grown into the largest foundational industry in Japan over the past 20 years. The information technologies that form this foundation are not limited simply to programming, but are the foundations of science, technology, and industry through intellectual production. Further, while information technologies are often seen as being purely scientific, it is actually a constantly-expanding field that has strong connections to the design industry and to psychology. Being a university specialized in information technologies, the University of Aizu provides a high-level IT education. Our university is also proud of its highly international faculty, with 40% of faculty members being foreign nationals; the highest percentage among science programs at domestic universities. Because of this, our university has a highly international flavor, and consistently produces graduates capable of succeeding around the world. The University of Aizu is waiting for high school students such as yourselves who can pursue both their dreams and goals in the real world over the long term.

Therefore, language education at the University of Aizu solely Exercise Rooms and Hardware Workshops are focuses on English. The fact that all of our students are required to write a replaced every three years. This outstanding graduation thesis in English has received worldwide attention from environment gives birth to creative computer information-related companies. scientists and engineers. About UNIX We have adopted a UNIX-based system for our core computer environment to ensure visibility of information concerning internal operations and high overall performance, including network flow, and to realize a stable education and learning environment. English Education through Leading-edge Technologies State-of-the-art English education based on scientific research on L1/L2 acquisition of phonology and phonetics. My main research interests are speech production and L2 acquisition of pronunciation. I use ultrasound as a tool to view and measure the tongue during speech. My research in the CLR Phonetics Laboratory revolves around the production of speech, such as “what sounds are easier/more difficult to acquire by L1 and L2 learners, and why?” In addition, I am interested in the Aizu dialects of the Japanese language, and I Ian Wilson am creating an audio database to preserve samples for future generations. Professor Phonetics using ultrasound has also been my expertise. I was an instructor on an NHK English conversation From Canada program.

Science observations and analyses require rigorous instrument calibration. In order to meet this requirement, we have conducted extensive inflight observations during the 3.5 years of cruise after the launch of Hayabusa2 on 3 December 2014. In addition to the first inflight calibrations by Suzuki et al. (2018), we conducted an additional series of calibrations, including read- out smear, electronic-interference noise, bias, dark current, hot pixels, sensitivity, linearity, flat-field, and stray light measurements for the ONC.
