Ceremony January 2026
The MIF is delighted to inform you that the following fellows have completed their fellowship.
Dr. Petr Straumal (Russia), from A.A.Baikov Institute of Metallurgy and Materials Science, Russian Academy of Sciences, carried out his research for 4 months under the supervision of Dr. Takeshi Wada, Institute for Materials Research, Tohoku University.
It was quite a long journey for all of us to receive Dr. Straumal in Japan, but he finally made it. The MIF deeply appreciates both institutions for their understanding and continuous support.
Dr. Abrham Bayeh Wassie (Ethiopia), from the Institute of Technology, University of Gondar, conducted his research for 6 months under the supervision of Dr. Yuko Hatano, Risk and Resilience Engineering Program, Graduate School of System and Information Engineering, University of Tsukuba.
It was great to hear that this fellowship has become an opportunity for further joint research and academic collaboration between them in the coming years.
Thank you very much for all of your great support and effort in welcoming Dr. Straumal and Dr. Wassie to Japan.
