The Yamashita-Set lab would like to extend its congratulations to our two most recent graduates Doctor Xiangnan Sun and Masters student Ruiyan Chen.
We wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors.




Lab members enjoyed an overnight ski trip in Yuzawa, Nigata prefecture.


On the 7th of March members of Yamashita-Set Lab attended a talk and Q and A session given by 2018 Nobel Laureate Dr. Donna Strickland. The event was hosted by the University of Electro-Communications Optica student chapter. We thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to meet such a distinguished researcher and thank both Dr. Strickland and the UEC Optica chapter for making this event possible.

Lab members visited Automotive World, advanced automotive technology show


Assoc. Prof. Set Sze Yun and doctoral student Naoki Yamaguchi visited the head office of SCREEN Holdings in Kyoto, where Prof. Set gave an invited talk. They also visited Noda Lab at Kyoto University.
