(Posted on January 27, 2026)

The 22nd Young Scientist Seminar (YSS), hosted by Yamaguchi University, was held in a hybrid format from December 6 to 7, 2025. This seminar was planned and operated primarily by students. Approximately 40 participants gathered at the Tokiwa Campus of the Faculty of Engineering. Additionally, about 100 participants joined online from countries including Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Bangladesh, and Japan. The seminar was conducted in English, featuring research presentations by participating students and lively discussions.

The program featured lectures by five speakers covering diverse themes such as genetic engineering, biomaterials, and water treatment. In addition to over 70 student presentations, the event featured a new initiative: group work sessions consisting of several dozen students each. During these sessions, the seminar logo was created. At the end of the second day, the best presentation and best logo were selected through participant voting. From our university, Mr. Shuntaro Matsunaga, a first-year Master’s student in the Department of Construction and Environmental Engineering, Graduate School of Science and Technology for Innovation received the Best Presentation Award for his research titled “A research on suppression of hydrogen sulfide generation in sewage pipe by lining with conductive material.”

Our university will continue to strive for the development of scientific talent with a global perspective.
