NIMS has been collaborating with Institute of Technology Bandung (ITB) since 2014, inviting graduate course students to continue the joint research between ITB and NIMS, and have published more than 30 co-authored papers in the field of materials science.
The day of visit firstly, the meeting including the ITB Vice-president, three faculty members of ITB, the NIMS President, the NIMS Vice-president, and the office chief of NIMS industrial collaboration office was held at NIMS Sengen campus, they exchanged the opinions to deepen mutual understanding based on introduction of latest overview from each institution.

Then, Dr. Masanobu IWANAGA (Chief researcher of the Plasmonics group, Optical materials field, research center for functional materials) presented the latest results of the research project on "Multi-purpose high-sensitivity meta-surface biosensors" at NIMS.
Following the above laboratory-tour, Dr. Yasuhiro Shirai (Group leader of the photovoltaic materials group, center for green research on energy and environmental materials) introduced the latest results of "perovskite solar cells" research at NIMS, as well as the experimental equipment that has produced such research results.
At the end of the laboratory tour, Dr. Ryo Tamura (senior researcher of the first-principles simulation group, nano-theory field, MANA) gave a presentation on his recent research project 'Structural analysis for MD simulations based on unsupervised learning' and exchanged opinions on possible future collaboration with visitors from ITB.
