The Minister showed a great interest in NIMS’ efforts on materials research and achievements since becoming an Independent Administrative Institution as well as the inter-linkages between NIMS and industry and acceptance of students and young scientists from abroad, and he asked how NIMS has made such a remarkable progress at the meeting with the Executive Vice Presidents, Dr. Muromachi and Mr. Iwase.
The Minister toured laboratories of computational materials science and also nanomaterials researches such as supermolecular materials, nano functionality integration and nanobiomaterials. The Minister holds a Ph.D. degree in Mathematics and also a professorship at University of Zimbabwe, so he was strongly interested in the research activities and asked many questions during the laboratory tour.
