2006 UK-Japan Young Scientist Workshop
Exploring the Nanoworld
Aims and Participants
The Nanoworld group, based in the Daphne Jackson building, was led by Professor Jeremy Allan and Dr Riz Khan. The objective of the team was to design an image, and then use a laser to create a nano version of this image. The final presentation would show the process by which this was achieved.
The group consisted of Shinnosuke Kakimoto from Rakuhoku school, Hiroyuki Tashiro from Kyoto university of education school, Ryu Hatayama from Ritsumeikan school, Rina Takashima from Horikawaol school, Hiroaki Sasaki from Rikkyo Japanese school, UK, Nicholas Bunce from Dartford Grammar School, Rosemary Pike from George Abbot School, Shaun Miller from St. Benedict’s School, and Calum Leslie from Hinchley Wood School.
The facilitator was Yoji Miyajima from Surrey University.
The learning outcomes of the students’ research are recorded here.

During
the week-long Workshop, students and their teachers, university researchers,
and cultural language facilitators worked together, through the process of
inquiry, to understand a challenging and complex scientific problem. At the
end of the week, students gave presentations of their original research findings.
