IPS has many international students, and about 80% of the students in my laboratory were from overseas. Through daily interaction with them, I learned the importance of understanding diverse perspectives. From this experience, I developed the ability to cooperate while respecting different cultures and values. Since communication was mainly in English, I improved my English skills and also realized the importance of language itself. This experience broadened my global outlook and expanded my international perspective.The research environment at IPS is well equipped, with state-of-the-art facilities and strong support systems. I had many opportunities to conduct experiments. This allowed my research to deepen, leading not only to the acquisition of technical skills but also to new discoveries. IPS is an ideal place for those who wish to pursue research in 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 a mindset of actively embracing new knowledge and perspectives, and I continue to value this attitude today. IPS was not only a place to gain advanced expertise but also a unique opportunity to experience its global environment. When I first enrolled, I felt anxious about speaking in English with people from different backgrounds. However, through repeated discussions in seminars and lectures, I adapted to the new environment and am now glad I chose to challenge myself. I also learned that it is important to advance research by involving those around me and by learning from and sharing knowledge and expertise with professors and laboratory members. This mindset has been highly useful in my current work, where cooperation with diverse people is essential. My experience at IPS strengthened not only my academic abilities but also my intercultural understanding and communication skills, which I believe will remain valuable throughout my life and career.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.MIZUGUCHI, YuikoCompleted the Master's Program in March 2025Nikon CorporationFAM, Rashel Putraruddy ScalaPh.D. Degree Awarded in October 2023Mobility System Solution Department Division,Honda Motor Co., Ltd.NINOMIYA, ToshinoriCompleted the Master's Program in March 2024Mobile System Business Division,Sony Semiconductor Solutions CorporationFANG, MengchuPh.D. Degree Awarded in September 2023Foundation, Technology & Infrastructure IP Division, Renesas Electronics CorporationZHOU, WeilianPh.D. Degree Awarded in March 2024Postdoctoral Fellow at The Hong Kong PolytechnicUniversity ZHUANG, Jyun-Rong Ph.D. Degree Awarded in June 2020Associate Professor at Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, National Chung Hsing University14Messages from Alumni
