I have become a member of the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences in Nagoya University for 3 semesters now, and as I always feel, I did make a good decision.
My study area is not in Japan, but because of Nagoya's good geographical location, I had chances to visit some areas along the Median Tectonic Line, both East and West of Nagoya, only within few hours drive. I believe this is also an advantage for different research groups at our school.
Our department has people coming from different countries, and thus we have established a good environment for not only intellectual but also cultural exchange.
The research environment at the department is open and friendly. Laboratories are easily accessible and ready for use. Since I started my study at Nagoya University, I have been given a lot of freedom and opportunities in the work approach as far as the direction is right. The experiences gradually build up my courage and independence, which I believe are important elements not only in conducting research but in dealing with daily life encounters.
