I attended the research meeting of the Technical Committee on Lasers and Quantum Electronics (LQE) of the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers (IEICE), held at Amahome PLAZA in Amami City, Kagoshima Prefecture, on October 22–23, 2026.Through my research presentation, I received valuable feedback and suggestions from researchers that will contribute to my future research. Attending presentations from other research fields also deepened my understanding of system design and evaluation methods using optical technologies. Furthermore, I gained valuable insights into how to effectively communicate research findings.I hope to apply the knowledge and experience gained from this meeting to my future research activities.（Yamaguchi）

I attended the 45th Electronic Materials Symposium (EMS-45), held in Kashihara City, Nara Prefecture, from October 14 to 16, 2026. In addition to presenting my research findings, I engaged in constructive discussions with fellow participants, which provided me with valuable advice from diverse perspectives and fresh insights. This experience served as an excellent opportunity to reassess the current standing of my research and identify key future challenges. Furthermore, learning about the latest research trends in the field of electronic materials provided great inspiration, further boosting my motivation for my ongoing and future research.（Yokoseki）

I participated in the 9th International Symposium on Advanced Science and Technology of Silicon and Related Materials, held in Nagano, Japan, from October 6 to 7, 2026.At this conference, I had the opportunity to present my research to researchers from different fields and learned a great deal about how to communicate my research effectively to people outside my area of expertise. As this was an international conference, I sometimes struggled to communicate in English when discussing my research with overseas researchers. This experience made me realize the importance of further improving my English skills so that I can explain my research and ideas more clearly and accurately.At the same time, receiving positive feedback on my research from overseas researchers was a great encouragement. I hope to apply the knowledge and experience gained at this conference to my future research and actively continue studying English so that I can engage in more in-depth discussions with researchers from around the world.(Morita)

From September 8 to 11, 2026, I attended the 87th JSAP (Japan Society of Applied Physics) Autumn Meeting, held at Hokkaido University in Sapporo.

As this was my first academic conference, I was very nervous during my presentation, but I was able to share the results of my research with the wider scientific community. Through discussions with other researchers, I also gained many insights that I can apply to my own work. Being exposed to the latest technologies and ideas in the materials field has further strengthened my motivation for future research. Building on this experience, I will continue to devote myself to my research every day. (Kawada)

【Comment from Daichi Tanaka】

Our research results have been featured in Cybermedia HPC Journal, published by D3 Center, The University of Osaka.

This journal introduces research case studies and achievements that make use of large-scale computing resources, including The University of Osaka's supercomputers, as well as the latest initiatives related to HPC. In this article, we present our research on optical cooling and our computational approaches utilizing advanced computing resources.

I participated in the 2026 Materials Research Society Spring Meeting (2026 MRS Spring Meeting), held on Oahu Island, Hawaii, USA, from April 26 to May 1, 2026. Although I was nervous as this was my first international conference, I was grateful for the opportunity to present my research to an international audience. Through discussions with researchers from various countries, I gained valuable insights into how my research is perceived internationally, which further increased my motivation for future work. In addition, I was able to learn about the latest technologies and perspectives in the field of materials research. I hope to make use of this experience to further develop my research and continue striving to share my work with the global research community. (Tanaka)
