Maria Yamane, a first year Master of Science student at the Tokyo University of Science Department of Physics and Astronomy, has been awarded the Best Student Presentation Award at the 7th Quantum Beam Imaging Workshop.
The Quantum Beam Imaging Workshop was established to provide an environment that could encourage interdisciplinary discussions related to quantum beam imaging. Detecting and analyzing quantum beams including infrared, visible, x-ray and gamma ray photons, electrons, neutrons, ions and molecules have a significant role in physics, material sciences, life sciences, medicine and engineering. The Best Student Presentation Award is given out every year to recognize the outstanding work by one of the students.
Yamane has been carrying out research under the direction of The University of Tokyo Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU, WPI) Professor Tadayuki Takahashi, as a research intern since she was an undergraduate student at the Tokyo University of Science. Her presentation was titled, “Development of a simulation framework for mouse in vivo imaging.”
The recipient of last year’s Best Student Presentation Award was Naoki Ito, a 2nd year Master of Science student who had also been carrying out research with Takahashi as a research intern, and whose presentation was titled, “Understanding physical process of cluster image formation for charged particle in TimePix3-Si detector.”
