Today, Ms. Jiayan Sun, a graduate from the class of 2024, stopped by our laboratory.

She is currently in her second year working as a specialist in industry, and during her recent trip to Aomori, she kindly took the time to visit us. We truly appreciate her taking the time out of her busy schedule to come by—it always means a lot to see our alumni again.

Progressing Well in Her Professional Career

It was great to see that she continues to apply the knowledge and critical thinking skills she developed during her time in the lab, and that she is making solid contributions in her current role.
