After the Matching Workshop, I attended two technical exchange meetings, where we enjoyed deep and rich discussions about research contents on both sides. These meetings stimulated my desire to learn more about the research at Yokogawa Electric Corp., and they assigned me an internship post at their firm.

In my job-search activities up until then, I had thought that my researching skills would only be attractive to a chemicals or pharmaceuticals manufacturer. My internship allowed me to realize that electrical manufacturers also need human resources in biological fields, so now I know that we should all broaden our potential employment search targets.

I registered for the Tokyo Tech Academy for Super Smart Society to learn about different fields that could be fused with my own specialty. I have learned many things from the curriculum, including the fundamentals of quantum computing. I have a strong sense of how I can integrate such specialty knowledge with my own field of biology.

At the SSS Matching Workshop, I was able to hold discussions with a wide variety of companies, organizations, and students. We shared our research in our specialist fields. These interactions certainly broadened my world view and my practical knowledge. I was also able to learn about companies interested in my research field. I recommend that everyone take advantage of these special opportunities by participating in an SSS Matching Workshop and using other SSS services!
