Thanks to the effort of the staffs, we have many joyful events even due to the COVID-19 pandemic. And with the kind support from the professors, we can master informatics science with the limited time during this situation. During the TAC-MI program, I was able to learn many new knowledges such as programming technique, molecular informatics and machine learning through lab rotation, practical school, and classes. It is a very valuable experience to have an internship in the company, get the information, and try to solve the practical problem in the frontier of industry in the practical school. Through the 3-years study, I have felt how the world of materials science will be expanded greatly with informatics technology. Moreover, TAC-MI is also a good program to make some new friends. We have made many connections with new people. They really have set me a good example in the academic life and career. I will keep these in mind in the future. Thank you very much. It is a wonderful experience for me”.
Members of faculty, mentors, and staff in the TAC-MI program look forward to seeing how the latest program graduate exercise their problem-solving ability, global leadership and expertise of “materials × information” on the world stage.
