About 80% of the students in my lab were international students. By interacting with them, I learned the importance of understanding diverse perspectives. Through this experience, I developed the ability to collaborate while respecting different cultures and values. Additionally, since communication with international students was mailny done in English, I have not only improved my English ability but also realized the significance of language itself. As a result, I have broadened my global outlook and expanded my international perspective. Moreover, the research environment was exceptionally well-equipped, providing me with opportunities to conduct various experiments using the latest equipment and receiving attentive support. This enabled me to deepen my research, acquire technical skills, and even make new discoveries. I believe that the Graduate School of Information, Production, and Systems provides an ideal environment for those who wish to advance their research while utilizing English.During my time at IPS Waseda, I had the privilege of experiencing a truly diverse and dynamic learning environment with a large number of international students from around the world. The versatile curriculum provided me with the tools to tackle challenges not only in academia but also in the broader industry. My research experience in the EBMT/NLP Laboratory allowed me to contribute to real-world solutions for current issues in the NLP field. I also benefited from invaluable collaborations with researchers from renowned institutions worldwide. The continuous support and guidance from the faculty and office staff were instrumental in helping me grow both academically and professionally.At IPS I developed the mindset to actively incorporate new knowledge and perspectives, and I continue to maintain this mindset to this day.IPS provided me with the opportunity to acquire advanced expertise and enabled me to experience its most notable feature—its global environment. When I first enrolled, I was very nervous about speaking in English with people from different backgrounds, but through discussions in seminars and lectures I was able to adapt to the new environment. Now I’m glad that I leaped into that environment. Also, conducting research involving those around you is important and so is being in an environment where teachers and other students share their insight and know-how. The mindset to actively incorporate new knowledge—which includes involving and sharing with others—is very useful in my current job, where it is essential to work with a variety of other people.In this way, my studies and experiences at IPS provided me with more than just academic growth, it was also an opportunity to improve my ability to work with others, which includes intercultural understanding and language, and I am confident that it will be a great asset in my life and career going forward.I was a member of Wireless Communication Circuits Technologies Lab, where I designed analog high-frequency integrated circuits. In particular, I researched the design and technology of high-performance voltage-controlled oscillators. Through the research process, which starts from finding a problem, I developed thinking skills, problem-solving skills, and the ability to clearly convey the results to people. Today I work at a company where I design and develop clock IP, which is along the same line as the research I did in graduate school. In design and development, first you identify problems, then you need to consider solutions and design circuits in discussion with your team, just like when researching at university. I perform my day-to-day work leveraging the fundamentals of circuit design I learned at IPS and the experiences I gained researching. While at IPS I also had many opportunities to attend academic conferences and exhibitions and talk with a wide range of people, where I learned a lot. Thanks to these experiences, I am able to broaden my horizons beyond that of the work I do now.My time at IPS was a journey of not only academic growth but also personal transformation. The most valuable lesson I learned was how to become a better person—someone with integrity, responsibility, and empathy. Through research, I discovered the importance of persistence, embracing challenges, and staying committed to my goals, even when faced with solitude or setbacks.Equally significant was learning how to build meaningful relationships. Communicating with peers, advisors, and students taught me the importance of respect, collaboration, and accountability. These interactions shaped my understanding of responsibility—not just to my work but also to the people around me. The lessons from IPS continue to guide me, helping me live with purpose, responsibility, and optimism.My time at Waseda IPS was transformative. The rigorous coursework and collaborative research environment taught me to question assumptions, approach problems systematically, and develop innovative solutions. The diverse community of faculty and students broadened my perspective and encouraged global thinking. Through various projects, I honed skills in communication and leadership—skills invaluable in my current work. The critical thinking and interdisciplinary methodology I acquired continue to shape my professional approach, enabling me to tackle complex challenges with confidence. I’m grateful for the mentorship and support I received, solidifying a lifelong passion for learning. Looking back, I realize these experiences fostered adaptability and resilience—capabilities guiding me today in every pursuit.14Message from Almni
