Collaborating Organizations Overseas
AIMR vigorously promotes international cooperation with many overseas research institutions.
Satellites
AIMR has concluded agreements with the following three research institutions as satellites to conduct bidirectional exchange in multidisciplinary areas. Under these agreements, we have established AIMR Joint Research Centers (JRCs) and have locally hired JRC Scientists.* This is to construct a framework to promote particularly intensive joint research with leading materials science research institutions in Europe, North America, and Asia.
| Country | University | Affiliated Faculty | Collaborate Research Overview |
|---|---|---|---|
| United Kingdom | University of Cambridge | Prof. Alan Lindsay Greer (PI) Prof. Christopher James Pickard (PI) Dr. Lewis Conway* |
Exploration of hydride superconducting material at ambient pressure, Structure control of bulk metallic glass, Elucidation of structure-function correlation by mathematical approaches |
| United States | The University of Chicago | Prof. David Awschalom |
Development of quantum materials based on spintronics, Design of quantum computing using spin-Qubit |
| China | Tsinghua University | Prof. Qikun Xue (PI) Dr. Hongyun Zhang* |

Partners
AIMR has concluded inter-departmental academic exchange agreement with the following research institutions.
We are vigorously advancing international joint research with the University of Cambridge, which is a JRC, by concluding agreements with two departments involved with materials science. We have been conducting the international internship program G-RIPS Sendai since 2018 through close collaboration with the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM) of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
| Country | University | Department |
|---|---|---|
| United Kingdom | University of Cambridge | Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy (MSM) |
| United Kingdom | University of Cambridge | Department of Chemistry |
| United States | University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) | Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM) |
| Germany | Fraunhofer Institute | Electronic Nano Systems (ENAS) |
| United Kingdom | University of Nottingham | Faculty of Engineering |
G-RIPS Sendai Program
AIMR conducts G-RIPS (Graduate-level Research in Industrial Projects for Students) Sendai in collaboration with UCLA’s IPAM. In Japan, this has been held at Tohoku University AIMR since 2018. The industrial partners to date have included Toyota Motor Corporation, Fujitsu Limited, and NEC Corporation.
In this program, teams formed with participants from the U.S. and Japan spend eight weeks intensively addressing mathematical issues provided by the industrial partners. It is an international internship program in which participants learn the pathway to reaching solutions. The program has achieved diverse outcomes and has been highly evaluated by both the students and the companies involved.
