Message to those considering higher education
Not only me, but people from various industries are working hard every day to find solutions to problems in different fields. If the knowledge acquired by solving various problems faced through corporate activities is perceived as a practical learning, research at Kodama Laboratory can be seen to be a process of systematically sublimating them into academics and theories. Through learning at Kodama Lab, you can expect to acquire the ability to analyze the causal relationships of various events from a broader perspective and the ability to think about them in practice at the same time.
