Ikuto Kawato, a second-year graduate student in the Department of Science and Engineering (affiliated with Professor Katsunobu Mori’s laboratory), received the Student Oral Presentation Award at the 61st Flow Injection Analysis Symposium and 39th Ion Chromatography Symposium Joint Conference, held at the Kumamoto City International Exchange Hall.
This conference is a joint event combining the annual Ion Chromatography Symposium and the Flow Injection Analysis Symposium. It focuses on “analytical chemistry” and was organized to provide a platform for graduate students and young researchers from across the country—who will lead the future of analytical chemistry—to present their research findings and to foster mutual growth. Analytical chemistry plays a vital role as a key academic and research field underpinning the natural sciences, as well as a driving force behind technological innovation in industry.At this conference, the Student Oral Presentation Award and the Student Poster Presentation Award were presented based on a comprehensive evaluation of the quality of the students’ research (novelty and originality of the research, motivation, hypothesis, validity of results and conclusions, and the quality and quantity of data) and presentation skills (the presenter’s level of understanding, concise and clear explanations, precise responses to questions, and considerations regarding future developments and potential).
Mr. Kawato presented a paper titled “Evaluation of Retention Characteristics Using a Lecithin-Cholesterol-Modified Zirconia Stationary Phase.” He received this award in recognition of the high quality of his content as well as his precise responses during the Q&A session.
