​Conference presentations (2025)

May 7, 2025

Six students from Arikawa laboratory participated in the international conference (AOGS) held in Singapore and presented their research results. A summary of the research will be posted on the department website.

​[Impressions from the conference]

・D1 Tomoki Shirai

This was my first time participating in an international conference face-to-face, and I was able to interact with a variety of people, making it a very fulfilling experience. At the same time, it was an important opportunity to listen to other researchers' presentations and reaffirm the direction and position of my own research. Also, my research in coastal engineering is related to meteorology, and at AOGS there were many sessions on meteorology, and I learned a lot about how to proceed with research and how to conduct analysis. In the future, I would like to focus even more on my research so that I can present more interesting research content.

・M2 Tatsuhiko Tokuda

I also participated in AOGS last year, but since the presentation was online and via video, this was my first face-to-face English oral presentation. I experienced the presenter's personality, which I couldn't get online, and I wanted to give a natural presentation like that, but it didn't go well at all. Not only did I lack preparation, but I also felt sorry for my lack of language skills during my stay in Singapore. However, even with my poor English, I was able to communicate to some extent, which led to a reduction in my aversion to English. Also, when I listened to poster presentations, I felt that unlike oral presentations, I was able to have a conversation with the person asking the questions, both physically and psychologically, which was an advantage that oral presentations lacked.

・M2 Fukuto Yoshida

This was my first presentation at an academic conference, and it was both exciting and I learned a lot from it. In particular, I was able to learn the importance of presentation preparation and presentation techniques from other people's presentations. Additionally, since it was an international conference, I was able to interact with students from overseas, which increased my motivation to study languages. I am planning to give presentations at academic conferences in English in the future, so I would like to make use of this valuable experience. ​
