Student Voice

Interested in sustainable development goals and environmental issues, I conducted research in the lab on the potential of mobility hydrogen as a next-generation clean automotive fuel. This experience deepened my understanding of global warming and carbon dioxide reduction. After graduation, I plan to work as a system engineer and aim to use the knowledge I’ve gained to not only address current issues but also anticipate future problems and risks.
