About the Program

The University of Tokyo Summer Internship Program is a six-week summer program that offers students hands-on research experience in STEM and social science. Participants get the opportunity to join one of many host laboratories in the University of Tokyo’s Graduate School of Frontier Sciences (GSFS) and complete their own research project under the direction of the lab group. The program is divided into two cohorts, both of which are comprised of undergraduate students from universities all around the world.

This summer, I participated in Program A as part of the Arima-Tokunaga laboratory. This lab group is under the department of Advanced Materials Science and focuses on multiferroic materials.
