From 21 October through 29 November, in cooperation with the Graduate School of Engineering (GSE), the Institute of Advanced Energy (IAE) held its third ASEAN Young Researcher Training Program in the Energy Field, with three graduate students from Chulalongkorn University, Thailand, taking part.

During the 40-day program, the participants -- Ms Konrat Kerdnawee, Ms Chompoopitch Termvidchakorn, and Mr Thantorn Vanavanichkul -- trained at the separation engineering laboratory of the GSE Department of Chemical Engineering, working respectively on 1) producing high-value added materials by ozone oxidation of graphite particles, 2) synthesizing alloy-carbon hybrid materials, and 3) synthesizing functional carbon nanoparticles from water hyacinth. The students also had opportunities to view fall foliage and other seasonal sights that are not part of Thailand's natural environment.

The program helped deepen the friendship between the Thai students and their Kyoto counterparts, while at the same time marking a new milestone in the research partnership among the participating institutions, including Chulalongkorn University as well as the National Nanotechnology Center (NANOTEC) of the Thailand National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA).
