SEMINAR
Seminar
Seminar Progress
In Case Study I, we conduct IoT experiments. From the second half of the third year, we plan the content of fourth-year research and start research. Seminars are held alternately with PowerPoint presentations and two original manuscripts (abstract format). Presentations are held twice a month.
Introduction of Slack and Notion
To activate communication between teachers and students, we have introduced Trello and Slack. Notion is used for managing research progress, temporary storage of documents, and paper management. Undergraduates can ask questions about lectures or discuss recs on Slack. It is also used for research discussions and seminar opinions.
Use of Microsoft Azure
In the Suzuki Laboratory, we recommend the use of Microsoft Azure for IoT, cloud, database, machine learning, etc. Students can use it within a certain amount.
Use of Claude (AI Agent)
In the Suzuki Laboratory, we have introduced Claude (Team plan) by Anthropic, providing an environment where students can advance their research and development while mastering AI agents. Using the coding assistant Claude Code, we streamline the implementation, debugging, and refactoring of research programs, as well as the creation of teaching materials and documentation.
Academic Presentations and Paper Writing
During undergraduate studies, we aim for presentations at national conventions, and for international conferences upon graduate school admission.
We also use Overleaf for writing.
Technologies to Acquire
Depending on the research type, knowledge from hardware to software is acquired in a wide range. Specifically, you can acquire some of the following technologies
- Cloud computing using Microsoft Azure
- Robot application development using ROS (Robot Operating System)
- Application development using OpenCV library for image processing
- Web scraping
- Microcomputer development using Raspberry Pi or Arduino
- FPGA development using Verilog HDL
- Loop engineering with Claude Code
RECRUIT
Seminar Recruitment Requirements
We present at the Information Processing Society Japan National Convention. Students must become student members.
If there are many applicants and interviews are conducted according to department policy, we will ask the following
- Can you continue with mental strength (whether you can persevere mentally)
- Can you graduate academically
- Minimum communication ability to visit once a week besides seminars
- It is good to plan to go to graduate school (not absolute, but priority)
