Q. What is the atmosphere of your lab like?

A. At my lab, the instructor and students are able to exchange frank opinions and mix with each other freely. The instructor encourages us to think freely, and if he find a student’s idea is interesting, he helps the student to explore the idea more deeply. The lab is ideal for those who are confident of their academic goals.
