about Matsuyama Minami High School

 Ehime Prefectural Matsuyama Minami High School has been designated as a Super Science High School (SSH) by Japan's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology since 2002. We have been researching and developing programs for science education in cooperation with universities and research institutes. We try to bring fascinating and inspiring science activities not only to our students but also to the local community.  Each of our students does a great deal of individual research, and because of their strenuous effort, they have won prizes in various kinds of science fairs.

  I am doing my research under Dr. Mani, who is an assistant professor at the University of Connecticut.  I use various experimental instruments every day.  First, I made samples and measured absorption using spectrophotometer, and used a fluorometer to measure emission.  At first, I was puzzled about how to use these experimental instruments, but using it many times, I was able to do it well.
  Of course, it is more difficult to analyze the results than to conduct experiments, and we are conducting research with the guidance of Dr. Mani.  On weekends, I went to the shopping mall and the organic supermarket with him.  I ate a hamburger and French fries with cheese.  It felt American style.
