I could not have hoped for a more welcoming environment than Nakase Laboratory!
Nakase Lab members are dynamic, deeply committed and always supportive of my work. Having every day this consistent care is a precious environment to evolve in as a researcher, and I am most thankful to all the team members for that.
I was also lucky to be part of the fruitful collaboration between JAEA and Nakase Lab. The four months spent working together were a real privilege, rewarding both professionally and personally.
Thank you so much!

It took me a total of eight years to get my doctorate, both in my doctoral program and as a working adult doctoral student. When I first entered the doctoral program, my research abilities and my physical and mental health were far from perfect. As a result, it took me many years to improve my skills in the first few years. However, Professor Nakase did not give up on me and was patient and patient with me. Even after I resumed my research in earnest, Professor Nakase patiently and carefully guided me, even though I had many shortcomings. Now I can work on my research with confidence, and I am enjoying my days as a research staff member at JAEA. My experience in the Nakase Laboratory was a great opportunity for me to grow. There may be working adults who want to get a doctorate but are worried about whether they can balance work and research. However, in the Nakase Laboratory, you can conduct research both experimentally and computationally, so you will surely find a research topic that you can balance with your work. In addition, we actively discuss research on a daily basis using online meetings, so I am sure you will be able to achieve your doctorate. Please try to step into the Nakase Laboratory.

Alaaeldine Shaker Mohammed SALEH

I am an associate professor at Egyptian Atomic Energy Authority and have stayed in Nakase lab for 10 months as a visiting scholar within the JSPS Invitational Fellowship program. During my stay, I studied the synthesis of diamide extractants, their characterization, and use for the separation of critical metals.
The research environment in the lab is supportive and the atmosphere is multicultural and friendly. Nakase lab is a unique opportunity to exchange experiences and opinions with lab members. Last but not least, it is not only the scientific and professional aspect, the lab also provides a special social experience for personal development through collaboration with lab members including professors, researchers, students, secretary and research associates, all have the willingness to help and support.

I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow at Nakase Lab. My time here has been invaluable, expanding my knowledge and skills in nuclear fuel cycle research. The guidance, support, and collaboration from professors and colleagues have enriched my understanding immensely. I truly appreciate the welcoming environment and insightful discussions that have shaped my perspective. Thank you for the invaluable experience and knowledge—I will carry these lessons forward in my future research and career.

I learned so much during my nine months at Nakase Lab. From attending conferences to visiting facilities, I had a lot of experiences I wouldn’t have gotten elsewhere. I also got along well with the staff and researchers, which made my time there really enjoyable.
If I had to give advice to new students joining the lab, it would be: don’t wait around for instructions—take the initiative and pitch your ideas! The more proactive you are, the more opportunities you'll find!

Tetus RATTANASIRIMANEEWATE

I had a really great time at Nakase Lab. The research topics offered in the lab are very flexible and the lab's members are very open and supportive.
If you are interested in nuclear studies with a lab environment with a modern mindset. This place is for you!
