My students, Mr. Murakami and Mr. Matsumoto, presented their research at the Japanese conference SSI 2025.
Mr. Murakami received the SSI Research Encouragement Award.

SSI (SICE Systems and Information Division Annual Conference) is the annual conference of the Systems and Information Division of the Society of Instrument and Control Engineers (SICE). It is one of the major domestic conferences in system engineering and informatics in Japan.

In addition to their participation in DEIM 2025, they delivered excellent presentations at SSI 2025 and demonstrated strong research capabilities, which led to this recognition. I am very pleased to support their academic growth.
