CPE Lyon welcomed the Japanese researcher, Dr. Yoshihiro MIHARA
On July 3, the Japanese researcher Dr. Yoshihiro MIHARA from Hokkaido University of Science came to visit CPE Lyon. He is currently researching the absorption of pollutants in water using an algae-based gel at the University of Lyon 1.
After a short welcome by our Japanese teachers Michie SUGAWARA and Shima SUNAOSHI, we showed Dr. MIHARA around in our various laboratories. In the organic chemistry laboratory, Mr. MIHARA met Dr. John Cameron TYSON from the University Georgia Tech in Atlanta, who was conducting various experiments with his students as part of the summer school.
During the visit of our biotechnology laboratory Dr. MIHARA could discuss with Alison ONSTINE – also from the University Georgia Tech – about the fascinating properties of silk worms.
Furthermore our laboratory assistant Sana DJEGHDIR explained the various laboratory equipment.
Finally, we visited the robotics laboratory, where Dr.Raphaël LEBER and Dr. Fabrice JUMEL gave us an insight into their work.
We thank Dr. MIHARA for his visit and hope to work well together in the future.
