April 23, 2008: Honda Canada and SNOLAB
Announce Graduate-Student Exchange Between SNOLAB and Kamioka
Laboratory in Japan
Sudbury, Ontario, April 23,
2008 — SNOLAB and Honda Canada introduced Kota Ueshima, a research
student at the University of Tokyo, and Olivier Simard, a research
student at Carleton University today: they are the first Honda Fellows.
Kota has spent the past three months working at SNOLAB and Olivier will
be spending this autumn at the
Kamioka Laboratory
in Japan. SNOLAB and Kamioka Laboratory have similar interests in
neutrino science and particle astrophysics. We are delighted that Honda
Canada is sponsoring this program. The program provides exciting
opportunities for students and will contribute to both laboratories'
work.
