Hello everyone, I’m HUA (M2), on June 6th and 7th, we attended the IST conference in Niigata. I felt incredibly honored to have this opportunity to participate in this event. Although the conference lasted only two days, I found it immensely rewarding. Listening to the presentations, I was deeply impressed by the participants’ expertise and their ability to use advanced research and technology to solve problems. Despite the presentations and slides being in Japanese, I was able to understand most of the contents.

Presenting my own research was a challenging  experience, especially since it was my first time presenting at such a conference. I was very nervous, but I managed to complete my presentation. This experience made me aware of my own shortcomings and the areas where I need to improve. I know I still have a lot to work on, and I am determined to improve and refine my research in the future.

I am very grateful for the opportunity to attend this event. It provided me with valuable insights and the motivation to continue improving. Additionally, this was my first visit to Niigata. The city felt quite different from Kanazawa. Despite the short visit, we managed to explore a bit and experience a new city while attending the conference. It was a delightful and enriching experience overall.
