The 22 fourth-year students, who have been conducting research in the University of Tokyo's research labs since April, presented what they have learned and their progress so far. During the Q&A session after the presentations, many questions and pieces of advice were received from fourth- and fifth-year students and faculty members. We look forward to further progress in their research leading up to the results presentation in November
