Join Our Laboratory!
We have a lot of visitors who are interested in our research & laboratory every year. Feel free to visit us. You are most welcome. Please make an appointment in advance by E-mail.
Seminars
You hold a 2-hour seminar every week.
You should proceed with your seminars at a pace to read through your own textbook
within a year.
In a seminar, you are supposed to bring your ideas, explain the details and the essence. You have a lot of lively discussions with Prof. Aoshima and other members in a seminar. You are strongly recommended to prepare for your presentation completely so as to explain things fully without any materials. In every seminar, you can find a lot of interesting ideas to consider in the future: they are your research assignments.
To Everyone Who Wants to Join Our Laboratory
Everyone says that Aoshima Laboratory is very tough. Is it true? Yes, our laboratory is tough. However, if you join us, you would come to know that everything is beyond your expectation. You can establish your ability of research. You can brush up your presentation skills. You can develop your possibility to contribute to society as a statistician. Alumni are very successful in the academic world, the educational world, companies, and the government as experts.
