As mentioned previously, It was our pleasure to host Dr. Horuo Kawamoto from Kyoto University to our lab. The event started as early as 9am at CREG’s meeting room. Soon after that, Dr. Kawamoto was brought to view our equipments, facilities and lab. In the afternoon, we had lunch with Dr. Kawamoto at Pulai Spring resort. Below are some moments with Dr. Kawamoto.

The meeting commenced with Prof. Nor Aishah’s briefing about CREG to Dr. Kawamoto.

 

This was followed with presentation by Yani, our latest Ph.D student who was also recently completed her Masters degree with CREG.

After several students presentation, Dr. Kawamoto provides his briefing about their research group in Kyoto Universiti.

Everybody were paying extra attention because the research culture in Japan is really different than us in Malaysia.

At the end, a token of appreciation by Dr. Kawamoto to Prof. NASA.
