  1. Your impression & future plan

It is with great privilege and honor that we have received the award and got qualified for the international student bridge contest in US. First of all, we would like to congratulate the IHI Corporation and The Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering (SAMPE) for their great work of organizing and making this event possible. Furthermore, we must express our sincere gratitude in particular to our supervisors Prof. Takahashi and Dr. Ice, as well as all the lab members who have provided us with enormous help from many perspectives. Unfortunately, the international student bridge contest which should have been held in the US in May 2020, has already been canceled due to Covid-19 but our team will still make full preparations and wait for its reopening. For achieving our ambition, not only shall we continuously improve our skills in design and fabrication, but also the power from every each one of you who support us is indispensable. We again truly appreciate for the help and support from you that encourage us to move forward.
