FOR STUDENTS

Explore. Understand.
Create.

For students who want to understand phenomena deeply and shape future possibilities with their own hands.

WHO WE WELCOME

Curious people who want
to understand and create.

We value curiosity about phenomena, the initiative to experiment, and the ability to collaborate respectfully across different perspectives—not only academic background or country of origin.

01

Curiosity

People who want to persistently ask why things happen and how they can be improved.

02

Making

People who want to go beyond analysis or experiments alone and test ideas by making them tangible.

03

Collaboration

People who can learn with others from different disciplines, cultures, and values.

04

Impact

People who want to connect research outcomes to meaningful value for people and society.

RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

From first question
to independent research.

Students do more than carry out assigned tasks. They learn to understand the background, clarify the research question, choose methods, and explain the results.

WHAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE

Research across
experiments and computation.

Depending on the topic, students combine high-speed imaging, mechanical testing, CAD, FEM, data analysis, 3D printing, and other methods.

Flow visualization

Visualization & Experiment

Make invisible phenomena observable and convert them into quantitative data.

Finite element analysis

Simulation & Data

Use numerical analysis and data science to improve understanding and prediction.

3D-printed prototype

Design & Prototyping

Develop design concepts as physical and digital prototypes.

INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY

Learning and creating
across borders.

Our international environment brings together students from different countries, regions, and disciplines. English is frequently used in research activities. Individual student information and portraits are not published for security and privacy reasons.
