Takara sensei, Sayama sensei and our lab memebers had a party for three main purposes: 1. Birthday celebrations for Yamamoto san and Ha san; 2. Welcome Asri san who will stay at our lab for four month; 3. celcebrate for Inoue san’s recovery. We had a great time~~~

Takara sensei and Ms. Khai Lin attended Kyoto – ASEAN Forum 2016 on the theme of “WINDOW TO ASEAN: INTERNATIONAL AND INNOVATIVE” – EXPLORING NEW HORIZONS IN COLLABORATIONS BETWEEN ASEAN AND KYOTO UNIVERSITY – which held in Pullman Kuala Lumpur City Centre on 8th – 9th September 2016. This forum was a great success, over 250 participants attended the forum. This forum brings together researchers, young researchers and young students which the aim to improve capabilities on their research, through the sharing of knowledge, experience, and wisdom.  

It was an opportunity for Takara sensei to meet up his former students and colleagues in Malaysia.

Takara sensei and two PhD students: Ms. Khai Lin Chong and Ms. Karlina from Takara Lab have participated 4th AUN/SEED-NET REGIONAL CONFERENCE ON NATURAL DISASTER 2016 on Sept 6 and 7 at Seri Pacific Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Takara sensei had been invited to deliver a keynote speech on Sept 7.

Ms. Khai Lin had her oral presentation on Sept 6 in the session of Assessing Risks, with title ‘Estimation the Effects of Hydrological Processes in Time of Concentration’. Ms. Karlina had her oral presentation on Sept 6 in the session of Understanding Hazards, with title ‘Low Flow Forecasting Based on Recession Analysis’.

Takara sensei and our lab members celebrated the birthdays in July for Sayama sensei, Inoue san and Saima san. Our lab member Tien san prepared Vietnam dessert-Black Glutinous Rice for us, Saima san prepared Pakistan Rice and Inoue san prepared candys from each prefecture for us.

We held a farewell party for Mahua sensei who will leave Takara lab soon, and also welcome the new comer Saima san who will stay in Takara lab for 2 months. Aas usual, we celebrate lab members’  birthdays in June: Hendy san, Tien san and Kobayashi san.
