Working Adult Doctorate (Central Glass Co., Ltd.) Akio Kikuchi received doctorate degree (Sept. 25, 2017)
Akio Kikuchi, who had been studying as a working adult doctoral student for three years and as a collaborating researcher with the Samukawa Laboratory received his degree at a conferral ceremony held on Sept. 25. Immediately afterwards, he visited the laboratory and offered his greetings. Unfortunately, Dr. Samukawa was in Taiwan for work, so he could not see him directly, but they communicated via Skype and Dr. Samukawa gave his congratulations. Dr. Samukawa was sincerely impressed. At the end, we took a photo of the two of them through Skype.
Congratulations, Dr. Kikuchi! We pray that collaborative research will be promoted even more actively from now on.
